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.
