A Solo Show by writer/performer Dufflyn Lammers
Directed by Jake Smith
DISCOVERED was nominated for a Duende Award in it's debut performance at the Hollywood Fringe Festival WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT:
This show is the culmination of 14 years in recovery, 11 years as a career consultant for actors, 10 years holding boundaries as an ex-codepedant, 7 years studying spirituality through physical connection, 8 years of daily meditation and 6 years being a mental health coach. We all know the struggle, this is about how to turn it into hope, forgiveness, and even success! LOGLINE:
The hilarious Hollywood-by-way-of-the-Deep-South story of a daughter who became an actor to win her mother’s love only to discover the one thing she had to do to succeed was stop acting. WHAT IS IT?
“Discovered” is a poetic, comedic, autobiographical solo show written and performed by Dufflyn Lammers. In this fearlessly personal tour-de-force, she explores addiction, identity, family history, and the ultimate truth of unconditional love. STORYLINE:
Dufflyn grows up desperate for Mama’s attention and confused by her skewed—but entertaining— version of reality. At the unlikely age of thirty-two Dufflyn breaks free and sets out for Hollywood to pursue the same grandiose dreams Mama was after, but she actually has some success! As she builds her career she struggles with her own demons—vanity, addiction, insecurity— but ultimately realizes the greatest obstacle she faces is her mother and the person she has been pretending to be in order to please her. It is the craft of acting itself that teaches her in the end that the one thing any good actor must first be able to play is herself.
