Join Alexia Vernon and her teddy rabbit on an erotic journey from victimization to celebration!

"Vernon gives us a masterful rendition of a complex sexual autobiography. Her performance is sensual yet sensitive; she subtly interweaves the trauma of sexual abuse with bawdy humor. We can laugh along with her at the same time that we can appreciate the gravity of her life changing experiences."
--David Tennenbaum, The Fifth Street Review

Created by and starring Alexia Vernon; featuring Cameron J. Oro; and directed by Jon Stancato.

While we won't know much until we go into our creative retreat in late August, we do know that Stolen Chair's next collectively created original production will be a live Film Noir for the stage. We're hoping it will be chock full of whiskey-guzzling detectives, leggy femme fatales, smoking guns, dark alleys, and even darker comedy.
