Cherry is playing as a part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Co-written by Sarah Carroll and Nadia Townsend.
Sarah Carroll‘s obsession with Katy Perry started when she was a 13-year-old growing up in Australia. Sarah was watching MTV when “I Kissed A Girl” came on and an infatuation took hold of Sarah’s awkward teenage years. As her body and personality was developing, Sarah related to Perry’s music at a very personal level. Getting into Katy Perry’s fans forum was a way for Sarah to get closer to her idol and receive important information on Perry’s touring schedule, specially the Australian dates.
Cherry is not only a tribute to Katy Perry. It’s also a lens through which a very dedicated fan tells her personal story and the challenges she faced growing up. Topics about body image, insecurities, relationships, family, and the preparation for adult life are all packed into this funny and entertaining solo show. It’s an interactive show with catchy tunes and the reflection of a whole generation.
Sarah is a talented actress with a great taste to tell a story. Her passion is evident all through the show; she offers a vivacious, funny, and relatable performance till the very end. Cherry is an excellent find this Fringe season, full of bubblegum and cotton candy energy.
