Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

As part of the 2024 Hollywood Fringe Festival, playwright and producer Dawn Branch presents a new play, Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. It will be held at The Hobgoblin Playhouse. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia centers on two women working to overcome one's anxiety. Hairstylist Nora brings her best friend, Elle, to her soon-to-open salon for a haircut. However, Elle's all-encompassing anxiety leaves her unwilling to sit in the chair. Quickly devolving into a scene of catastrophizing, this is a sometimes silly play confronting friendship, trust, fear and growth.
