UP CHICK CREEK
-
Three one-woman shows about life, love
and the pursuit of a paddle
-
Removed from the glamour and glitz of Sex in the City there is UP CHICK CREEK - an evening of three original one-woman shows: Surviving Chrysalis by Barbara Cole, The Hard Way by Dinah Steward, and Crazy in a Good Way by Lizzie Czerner - three women searching for their own happily ever after in LA or at least a paddle to help with the journey up Chick Creek.
SURVIVING CHRYSALIS - the story of a mom at mid life, attempting to set herself free from the PTA before she takes them all out.
Written and Directed by Barbara Cole. Cole wrote and performed her first one-woman show about becoming a new mother, The Rocking Chair Riddle, in 1995. Despite rave reviews, motherhood put an end to her acting career until a decade later, when she performed Surviving Chrysalis, the sequel to RCR, about the turmoil of mid-life. Chrysalis took "Best of Fest" at the San Diego Actors Festival. Most recently Barbara performed solo works in the Hollywood Fringe Festival and the Los Angeles Women's Theatre Festival. LA stage credits include Sex, Love, Violence at The Whitefire Theatre, The Art of Being at ArtWorks Theatre, & Expressing Motherhood at The Electric Lodge.

THE HARD WAY - a musical adventure along the path of most resistance.
Written and Directed by Dinah Steward. Steward recently relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a career in singing and songwriting. She spent the last three years singing and writing in New York City and, before that, was an active-duty member of the U.S.Air Force (and full-time vocalist in the band at Langley AFB). In May, Dinah completed a four-month run of the popular Grand Guignolers' show Absinthe, Opium & Magic: 1920s Shanghai at the Actors' Gang Ivy Substation Theater
