HeLP! My Vagina is Trying to Kill me!
written and performed by Yola Jean Lu
February 20 - March 22, 2025
Okay, technically this is a one-woman show about STI’s, miscarriage, and HPV.
But believe it or not, this show is also uproariously funny, except when it makes you cry so hard the person behind you offers you a tissue. It’s about love, loss, overcoming shame, and possibly even--I know it sounds crazy--learning to love and accept yourself for who you are. Not just for owners of vaginas!
A short piece from this extraordinary show won Best of Fest in this year’s FronteraFest, and to say the audiences adored it is an understatement. Now HPT is thrilled to present the full show.
