(The) Jenna Show[s]: a Work-In-Progress

"[👍🏼]" - Roger Ebert, the Chicago Sun-Times

"Never has chaos looked so good." - Morgan Joy, “Peggy’s Place,” “the Sweet and Sultry Burlesque”

"(a) Toronto icon." - Adam Mohammand, the Flop Shop

“[She has an] innate sense of balance” Joseph Swanek, Guelph School of Art

“Stunning” - Randall Willis, “So, What’s Your Story?”

What is(n’t) it about? (While) definitely her, it could very well be (about) Jennything.

In its first iteration as the solo show that she has been working on (mostly virtually through her Instagram persona @jennythingshows) for almost eight years solid, Jenna invited Sweet Action owner and proprietor, and multi-award winning clown (father) Gordon Neill to “live-direct” this ongoing work-in-progress. This month's director is TBA.

(Witness) the walking jukebox musical and shame(ful)/less) Anglophiliac Jenna Show(s) (and tells?) clown-based solo improv that playfully delves into the intricacies of late-diagnosed neurodivergence. Through elaborate musical numbers (gone awry), Leqoc-inspired neutral mask (meditations in motion), (rambling) monologues that expose her (lack of) executive functioning, Jenna invites the audience into her playful world of chaotic awkwardness all in the service of basic human presence.

Come join in the pro(c/gr)ess: maybe you’ll want to direct her (one day) too/and see how it’s done. Go(r)d has directed countless others to international acclaim.

A trad wife by trad(e) in her leisure (time/dreams) you may find her at home ironing her underwear.

DISCLAIMER: this show *may* (or may) [not] (end up) be(ing) a comedy, (but you will) laugh.
