Schedule of Events
7pm: The Abnormal Heart
Fresh off a sold-out 2024 Hollywood Fringe run, "The Abnormal Heart" is an unmissable solo piece by dynamic performer and writer, Parker Mills. The show navigates the comedic yet poignant adventures of a #brave, unsuccessful, middle-aged homosexual and his lifelong search for...something. From pretending to be a born-again Christian to a short stint in phone sex, and even narrowly escaping death while dressed as a gorilla, Parker's journey celebrates the resilience of the human spirit.
"The Abnormal Heart" masterfully balances deeply vulnerable, heart-wrenching tales with humor and optimism, challenging the audience's perceptions of normalcy and showcasing that a heart never truly breaks—it just gets banged up a little. Parker's unique and captivating emotional rollercoaster ride resonates deeply with audiences, proving that "The Abnormal Heart" is not merely a work of art, but a work of heart.
Directed by Marilyn McIntyre and produced by Dawn Sebock, the show is a testament to the power of storytelling and the beauty and complexities of life.
