About the Show:
The Life and Times of Daisy Forbes is a long-form lip-sync performance centered on Daisy, a showgirl at a defining crossroads. Through a collage of television interviews, pop music, obscure musical theater scores, and film scenes, Daisy channels a chorus of borrowed voices to excavate the choices that shaped her life. As she confronts feelings of abandonment and an uncertain future, the work asks what it means to keep pushing forward as both an artist and a human being in the world.
*Workshop with invited guest artist.
