INGÉNUE

When you’re fat and funny, and a community theater child star, you spend a lifetime playing mothers and villains. Lucky for Lucy Porter, this had absolutely no impact on her psyche whatsoever!

Ingénue unites original songs, stand-up comedy, and stunning dresses in a bold solo cabaret that examines what it means to finally cast yourself as the ingénue.
