Ali Keller LLC
Open rehearsal Time at WVRC during West Side Fest:
Saturday, July 13, from 2pm – 5pm
This rehearsal will be for a one-woman show created and performed by Ali Keller. The piece is about her journey as a Catholic neurodivergent person obsessed with soul-cycle and pro-wrestling, processing a women’s health crisis at the very beginning of a new relationship the same week she begins a new job.
In other words, she wants to reach out to audiences about how hard it is to get through a mental health crisis for the second time and a physical health crisis for the first time when you can’t put your whole life on hold to deal with it. It will be roughly an hour long dark comedy piece that Ali and Jacey hope will help women feel more sane about how insane the world treats them in times of need. The idea is in the early stages of development - Ali and Jacey will use this opportunity to explore one or two passages from the piece on its feet. This piece is not yet titled.
Ali Keller and Jacey Powers will be rehearsing during these open rehearsals.
