Emmy-nominated actress Naomi Grossman, best known for her role as “Pepper” in American Horror Story, is set to present her new solo show, American Whore Story, at the Skylight Theater in Los Angeles starting June 1, 2023. The limited theatrical run of the show will last for four weeks, and tickets are now on sale at www.americanwhorestory.com.
Directed by multiple Ovation Award-winner Richard Israel, American Whore Story is Grossman’s third entry in her trilogy of solo shows. The previous two shows, Girl in Argentine Landscape and Carnival Knowledge, received critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, on London’s West End, in New York, Los Angeles, and at universities nationwide.
In American Whore Story, Grossman presents an anthology of autobiographical tales of self-compromise. She shares stories of her history of hustling, from her compromised love life to her compromising odd jobs. The show takes the audience on a transformative trip to Burning Man, an acid trip to a 60’s Rat Pack rager, and along Grossman’s circuitous, albeit hilarious, triumphant trip to #1 on IMDb.
From the face that launched a thousand American Horror Story memes, gifs, clickbait, and fan art, American Whore Story is a raucous, irreverent love letter to AHS fans and the dubious art of self-compromise. The show is a straight-from-the-heart, sweet-and-sour candy confection for anyone who’s ever felt compromised.
Theatre producer Kate Atkinson (Part of the Plan, A Very Brady Musical) and documentary filmmaker Sarah Anthony (Kiss the Future, The Defiant Ones, Light and Magic) have partnered with Grossman to bring American Whore Story to the stage under their AWS Entertainment Group banner. Notable design team members include composer Stefano Tomaselli, video designer Jakob Peter Konrad, projection designer Gabrieal Griego, lighting designer Stuart A. Fabel, sound designer Joseph “Sloe” Slawinski, hair and wig designer Brandon Liberati, and makeup designer Sara Lipetz.
