Laura Ekstrand is the Producing Artistic Director of Vivid Stage in Summit, New Jersey, as well as its next leading lady. Starring in 101 Humiliating Stories by Lisa Kron, she will headline the first performance of Vivid Stage’s Solo Series from April 13-16.
“In this one-woman show, the actor shares a series of humiliations past, present and future, including exquisitely detailed anecdotes like ‘Geeky Celebrity Encounters’ and ‘How I Spent All the Petty Cash From My Office on Makeup.’ An invitation to perform at her high school reunion in Lansing, Michigan, triggers another series of anxiety-filled fantasies. How will she, a lesbian East Village performance artist, cope with her Midwestern classmates? 101 Humiliating Stories is evocative, moving and overall hilarious.”
Jersey Arts speaks with Ekstrand about the relatable humor of 101 Humiliating Stories and learns more about what programming and opportunities Vivid Stage has to offer.
