War Paint

“In “War Paint,” creator and performer Lily E. Garnett wants her worth to be measured by something other than the makeup she painstakingly applies. In her engaging mix of personal anecdotes and observations, Garnett dives into the complicated relationship between women and their cosmetics, which she sees as a battle — perhaps a battle for the soul.
She entertainingly brings up points to ponder, and stories of her Southern upbringing are especially illuminating...” -Matt Palm, Orlando Sentinel

Tickets available to stream War Paint available at OrlandoFringe.org through tomorrow evening!

“In “War Paint,” creator and performer Lily E. Garnett wants her worth to be measured by something other than the makeup she painstakingly applies. In her engaging mix of personal anecdotes and observations, Garnett dives into the complicated relationship between women and their cosmetics, which she sees as a battle — perhaps a battle for the soul.

She entertainingly brings up points to ponder, and stories of her Southern upbringing are especially illuminating. Like many a Fringe show, there is a particularly dark turn. And there’s certainly no pat conclusion; how do you change society’s view of a made-up woman vs. one whose face is left natural?
That’s an area where women are going to have to take the lead.” -Matt Palm, Orlando Sentinel

These shows at the Orlando Fringe Winter Mini-Fest all have something to say about the human condition — and they do so in very different ways. Music, laughter, drama, absurdity … here's a selection of productions that show us a little something about who we are.

It’s surreal to think that there are only 2 shows left in this first US tour of mine. While there is the possibility for an additional performance on Sunday, Patron’s Pick is never guaranteed and I just want to appreciate the gift of the shows that I do have. I’m excited and humbled by all of this. More to come later. I hope to see many Kansas City friends tonight at 7:30 PM and tomorrow at 4:30 PM.

Thank you, places!
