Defining Moments at The Ivy Substation

Los Angeles Women's Theatre Festival (LAWTF) presents its annual programming at The Ivy Station in Culver City for a unique performance that takes an intimate look at the personal lives of women in stories written and performed by them. Hosting the evening of entertainment will be Anna Maria Horsford, whose long, busy career has spanned motion pictures (Minority Report, How High, One Fine Day). Co-hosting will be Ted Lange, beloved for his 250 episodes of The Love Boat. Four women writer-performers will perform their stories, excerpted from larger pieces. Karen A. Clark in The Women. In this encore excerpt and through music, poetry and storytelling, Ms. Clark reflects on the women in her family, particularly her mother, who provided a "wow" factor. Barbara Cole in Surviving Chrysalis. One woman reconciles aging in her journey toward self-actualization in this funny excerpt. Bellina Logan in Confessions of a Mulatto Child. This excerpted piece chronicles a bi-racial child's life with her acerbic English actor/mother and the deep bond they forged. Amy Milano in Dancing with Crazies. In this excerpt from her life experiences, one woman searches for a place to call home after being uprooted from place to place as a child.
