2015 Capital Fringe Preview #24: ‘From Seven Layers to a Bikini Top in Less Than Five Hours’ by Andrea Schell

Most women have a strong desire to be free, fully self-expressed, and share their vision with the world. AND most women also have this overwhelming urge to be perfect, like PERFECT, in every way. Quite the predicament.

This solo play explores how those two facets of being a woman simply cannot exist in the same space. Incorporating monologue, song, poetry and movement, this high energy, fast paced, fun and inspiring show tells the story of seven women stripping away (sometimes literally!) the layers that have been hiding who they really are.
