WINTERFEST: Solo Show Doublebill – FULL CONTACT & X#*! YOU VERY MUCH, MOM

A double-bill run of two new solo shows featuring Asian American theatre artists, including the National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere of FULL CONTACT, written & performed by Ariel Estrada and directed by Gaven D. Trinidad; and a developmental workshop of X#*! YOU VERY MUCH, MOM by Đavid Lee Huỳnh directed by Nana Dakin. Plus, a free, 90-minute staged reading of the new horror/satire BLOOD/SUCKER by Anamaria Guerzon, directed by Nicholas Polonio. FULL CONTACT: Unraveling under the weight of his memories: a violent cult, a lost faith, and the echo of his late father’s demands. Caught between guilt and survival, Filipino American Ariel Estrada fights to take the first step toward healing before his mind pulls him under. X#*! YOU VERY MUCH, MOM: Stand-up comedy meets TED Talk meets dark family secrets. With whimsy, sardonic humor, and heart, Đavid shares how the effects of French colonialism shaped Vietnam, rippled out, & made it so X#*!ing hard for his mom to say "I Love U."
