"Little Fish Present: The Tender Tank" (co-hosted with Michelle Drozdick).

Character: "Kitten Solloway"
Poor Kitten's had A YEAR.
Kitten Solloway (infamously known as "Hollywood's Most Available Ingenue") is an improvised character currently being developed into a stand-alone performance. Annie-Sage has appeared in-character to host and perform at Asylum NYC, Q.E.D (with Maggie Metnick, and The Brick Theatre.
This one-woman show imagines a borsch tbelt Sunset Boulevard by way of Walter Benjamin and Bill Irwin, juxtaposing ridiculous physical comedy with larger existential themes of performative identity, memory and intimacy.
“Keepin’ Cozy with Kitten” is an in-person adaptation of the darkly comic, popular quarantine livestream, “Keepin’ Cozy with Kitten Solloway” (created and performed by Annie-Sage Whitehurst on @SociallyDistantImprov with 50 weekly episodes and an average of +1K engagements per video).
Quarantine Livestreams
Annie-Sage was a regular performer on @sociallydistantimprov with multiple weekly shows, including "Keepin' Cozy with Kitten," an improvised character show and Meatpalace, a two-person "POV-prov" improv team with Sal Joseph.
