“Stepping On a Few Toes” Accepted Into Solo Show Festival
Show Will Be Featured in Solo Show Festival Presented by Whitefire Theatre
LOS ANGELES, CA – November 29, 2011 – “Stepping On a Few Toes” has just been accepted to participate in the 2012 Solo Show Festival presented by Whitefire Theatre. The festival takes place in January and will feature a variety of one-person shows from artists all over the country. “Stepping On a Few Toes” will be showcased on Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 8pm at Whitefire Theatre (13500 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks, CA 91423). Tickets are $20 and will soon be available for purchase.
“Stepping On a Few Toes” is a dramatic autobiographical play that has been wowing audiences since it premiered in 2009. Written and performed by Jasmynne Shaye, the piece is an honest story of survival that follows the journey of a young child desperately searching for love and acceptance. This journey leads her to many dead ends forcing her to constantly retrace her steps and in many cases begin at square one all over again. Treading with much frustration and hopelessness, she somehow manages to cut a clear path. She finds delivery from the rainy days to which she’d grown accustomed and her new path leads her to the warmth and sunshine she’d always longed for. During the show Jasmynne shares with us her struggles on the often times rocky road to self-acceptance as she finally learns the real meaning of loving herself for herself. The show is a powerhouse of entertainment and was recently nominated for Best One Person Show by the National NAACP Theatre Awards.
Currently Los Angeles-based, Jasmynne Shaye is a member of Write Act Repertory theatre company in Hollywood. A North Carolina native and graduate of NC State University, Shaye has been performing on stage since age five. Most recently she can be found playing the role of THERESA in Wind in the Willow Tree (www.windinthewillowtree.com), a new webseries that she not only acts in, but participates in the production of as well. Shaye is owner and founder of Sassy J Designs (www.sassyjdesigns.com), a line of fingerless gloves that are featured in the webseries. She also works professionally as a certified nutritionist at Day One Nutrition (www.dayonenutrition.com), a company she began shortly after graduating from college.
Director Jaimyon Parker, a NAACP National Theatre Award nominee for Best Local Playwright for "James and Joseph" in 2009, left Houston for Los Angeles in 2004. He's since starred in several award-winning independent films including "Sweettooth" - a Telly Award winner and pick for HBO's Latino Film Festival, "Bar Moments" and "How Shaw Parker Fell in Love." He has directed four independent films, and performed on many stages in Los Angeles, including the prestigious Stella Adler Theater.

Congratulations on your achievement. I hope to be able to see the play one day soon.
ReplyDeleteI also have a blog where I write on acting and anything related to it.
I was browsing for followers and I found your blog. I think you might be interested in what I write. If that is so, I would be very glad if you became a follower and shared some feedback whenever you had some.
Thanks again for sharing.

Thank you for stopping by Jasmynne.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I can give you a few tips about blogging.
The most important one: you don't need to write everyday; write only once or twice a week, always on the same day, so your readers know that's the day you post something new.
If you write everyday they won't be able to follow everything.
Then I suggest you don't write too long posts, and split your posts into paragraphs, leaving a space between a paragraph and the other.
And then, go around the blogosphere looking for followers who might be interested in what you write.
This is a bit of a commitment, I know, but it leads to great satisfaction and interesting connections!
Hope this was useful.
Just remember that your blog can become a very powerful presentation of your work and of yourself as an actress/writer/producer.
All the best,
Jay
