Jaclyn Whitehair " Back on stage for the first time in a while. ❤️ A few years ago, I found myself moving further away from the kind of creative work that truly felt aligned. After what felt like endless (vertical) auditions and scripts that my heart just wasn’t in, I knew I needed something different. I wanted to create intentional work. I wanted to share my voice, my stories, and experiences that meant something to me. Getting to be part of Fillet of Solo Weekly and share the stage with such thoughtful, talented storytellers was incredibly meaningful. I’m grateful for the opportunity, the encouragement, and the reminder of why storytelling matters so much to me. That's why I got into the arts in the first place. Thank you to everyone involved for creating such a welcoming and inspiring space." Fillet of Solo loved having you - thanks for the kind words, Administration.

Errol McLendon's solo show -- May 31st at 2pm! Don't miss it! When a heart attack took his dad the day before his 14th birthday, Errol felt he never got a chance to know his father. With slides and stories, Errol sets out to discover the man he barely knew. A tribute to the fathers, coaches, teachers, mothers and siblings that make us who we are.
