LA Theatre
Geffen Playhouse presents a world premiere production of Am I Roxie?, written and performed by Roxana Ortega (The Casagrandes, The Groundlings). The play is directed by Bernardo Cubría (Crabs in a Bucket; The Giant Void In My Soul). In this funny one-woman tour-de-force based on her own life, writer/actor Roxana Ortega navigates the chaos of her mother’s mental decline with outrageous humor. Playing everything from a mermaid-obsessed aunt to a prickly sherpa, Roxie takes us on a humorous journey.
