Meet the founders of the Solo Theatre Film Festival, Amie Enriquez and Jen Rowe! Brought together while creating their own solo theatre pieces, these two creatives became fast friends and dreamt of a way to make the intimate world of solo theatre accessible to the masses. From that, this festival was born!

Jen is a California born actor, writer, director, producer, and founding artistic director of @thetheatreco . She has trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and UCB, toured her one woman show, and has extensive film and theatre credits.

Amie is a New York born actor, writer, producer, and puppeteer. She has trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, the Second City, the Groundlings, and the Jim Henson Company. She toured her one woman show in Edinburgh, LA, and off Broadway.

Amie and Jen are thrilled to see their vision of a solo theatre film festival taking off! Meet them and the selected artists of this year’s festival in person on Saturday, November 7th at The Blue Door in Culver City.

COW / VACA - [Brazil]
Written & Performed by Bruna Betito @brunabetito
“COW departs from the universe of lovers.
This transgressive figure is condemned without the right of defense - the saga of a woman in constant search for the animal identity for which she was destined.”

POSTER CHILD
Written & Performed by David Pavao @davidfunnygo62
“Not just a collection of pioneering women from the 70’s, they adorned my teenage bedroom. My Charlie’s Angels posters protected me and watched over me when I didn’t have the strength or knowledge to know what being out of the closet meant in the era of the Marlboro Man.”

It’s the final week of this years Edinburgh Festival Fringe, so who better to highlight than the honorary president of the Fringe itself, Phoebe Waller-Bridge!

Phoebe Waller-Bridge is an English actress, playwright, screenwriter and producer. She debuted her acclaimed one-woman stage play “Fleabag” (directed by Vicky Jones) at the 2013 Edinburgh Festival Fringe at the Underbelly venue. The raw, darkly comedic solo performance explored modern grief, sex, and family dysfunction. “Fleabag” won several prominent awards and nominations, transferred to the Soho Theatre in London, and eventually toured globally. Television executives took notice of the success, leading BBC Three to commission a screen adaptation.

Season 1 of the television adaptation premiered in the UK in July 2016 and reached international audiences via Prime Video. The series swept the 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards (winning six, including Best Comedy Series and Lead Actress) and cemented its legacy as a defining television comedy.

Today, Phoebe Waller-Bridge acts as a global advocate and patron for the Fringe festival, serving as the first ever honorary president. She also helped launch and support the “Keep it Fringe” fund initiative, which provides direct financial bursaries to help grassroots artists combat rising costs and perform at the festival.

Are you at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year? We want to hear all about it!

I started Solo Lab because I needed a place to rehearse my own show.

Turns out… a lot of us did.

So now we have two rooms.

Saturdays • 11AM • The Eastwood (Hollywood)
Mondays • 4PM • The Lyric Hyperion
(Silverlake)
90 minutes.
8 spots.
10 minutes of stage time.
$10.

Supportive room. Real feedback. No ego.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start (or finish) your solo show… this might be it.
