The Diabolical Starfish Written by Jen Browne

About This Show

The Diabolical Starfish is a new solo work for person and puppet. It explores the isolated life of Charlie and her distrust of the outside world. This is the first collaboration between playwright Jen Browne, performer Stacey Raymond, and director Tasha Gordon-Solmon.  It began as a monologue originally commissioned by CapsLock Theatre, which was featured in Pussyfest III – The Reckoning.

This is an Equity Approved Showcase.
