Solo Fest 2021 – Featuring Steve Budd!

It’s nigh time for the 4th Annual PlayGround Solo Performance Festival, celebrating the work of intrepid solo performers as they harness their immense imaginations to captivate our attention for close to an hour — no small feat for a solitary creative in front of an attentive audience. This year’s festival boasts an impressive roster of personal storytelling, free-wheeling fiction, and docudrama dives into histories public and private.  We encourage you to catch every show at least once for the full experience, but to help you sift through the embarrassment of riches and learn a little more about our creatives, we asked our performers (and writers!) a few questions about their relationships with Solo Performance and PlayGround!

Next up: Steve Budd (he/him) in the continuation of his critically lauded “What They Said About…” series, What They Said About Sex!

PG: Why is Solo Performance important to you?
SB: I love playing multiple characters and sharing stories on important subjects that might not otherwise be shared.

PG: How is the PlayGround Solo Fest helping you reach your artistic goals?
SB: The PlayGround Solo Fest is providing a great opportunity to perform during the pandemic and reach new audiences.

PG: In one sentence, what should audiences expect from your show?
SB: Audiences should expect humor, honesty, insights, and raw personal stories that have the capacity to both disturb and delight them.
