"PostPardon Me" Reading

You are invited to an informal STAGED READING of "PostPardon Me."

Your feedback and creative energy is requested for a reading of Liesel's very first solo show. Please come for a bit of entertainment and share your thoughts/concerns and praise on the (hopefully) complete script. There will be snacks, laughs and maybe some tears from Liesel.

"PostPardon Me," is a one-woman seriocomedy written and performed by Liesel Hlista and directed by & developed with Jessica Lynn Johnson. It is premiering at SOLOFEST 2020, the largest solo theater festival on the West Coast.

"PostPardon Me" follows a new mom, Liesel, through her surprising postpartum journey deep into the trenches of toddlerhood. Given the privilege of raising a tiny human, with
less required testing than she got at the DMV. Liesel is writing her own manual that can help her brave the storm of trying to raise a child, maintain her marriage and attempt not to be a complete hot mess on the daily.

With honesty, hilarity and a bit of song, "PostPardon Me, breaks down the taboos of being a new mommy and tells it like it is. This shit is cray, like literal shit...so much shit. Through so many diapers and so few showers, Liesel Hlista is out to save the world, one vagina at a time.

This 70ish minute rollercoaster ride through mommy life will be followed by an in-depth Q&A and complimentary snacks at T.U. Studios.
