Kim Wayans will perform her autobiographical solo show, A Handsome Woman Retreats, at the Hudson Guild Theatre on June 25 to help raise awareness of the Guild and the programs it provides to over 14,000 children, youth, and seniors.
The show follows an unhappy woman plagued by panic attacks as she goes on a 10-day silent meditation retreat and uncovers both the source and the cure for her anxiety. Along the way, the writer/performer introduces many of the unique characters whose influences contributed to the Wayans family becoming one of the most successful families in entertainment today.
On June 26, Wayans will do a reading from her Amy Hodgepodge book series. After the reading, she and other members of her famous family of comedians will host a screening of their animated special, The Boo Crew: Sneaker Madness. To end the day, the family will conduct a comedy workshop for teens.
