Jasmynne Shaye Returns with “Stepping On a Few Toes”
Show Will Be Featured in Solo Show Festival Presented by Whitefire Theatre
LOS ANGELES, CA – January 2, 2012 – “Stepping On a Few Toes” will be featured in the Solo Show Festival presented by Whitefire Theatre. The festival will feature a wide variety of over twenty solo shows performed by actors from all over the world. Each performer is given a single night to showcase their piece, and Jasmynne Shaye’s evening to shine will be on Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 8pm. The Whitefire Theatre is located at: 13500 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks, CA 91423. Tickets are $20 if purchased online (http://www.steppingontoes.com/) and are $25 at the door.
“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.
Authentic…vivacious…and passionate… Those are just a few of the words that have been used to describe Jasmynne Shaye. Jasmynne is a North Carolina native and graduate of NC State University, where she studied Food Science and Nutrition. She is truly a multi-talented artist who has appeared in film projects produced in North Carolina, New York City, and Los Angeles. She has also been performing on the stage since age five, and is currently a member of Write Act Repertory Theatre Company in Hollywood, CA. She has written and produced her story for the stage in this fascinating autobiographical piece, “Stepping On a Few Toes.” Among her accolades, Jasmynne has been compared to academy nominated actress Gabourey Sidibe for the way she is able to completely transform herself and shed her true nature to take the audience on a ride down a, at times, very dark and frightening road.
Currently, Jasmynne can be found playing the role of THERESA in “Wind in the Willow Tree,” a new webseries written and directed by Jaimyon Parker. The webseries had a private screening last year, and is expected to go live later this month. Jasmynne is also developing a line of fingerless gloves through her company, Sassy J Designs (http://www.sassyjdesigns.com/) and she also works professionally as a certified nutritionist at Day One Nutrition (http://www.dayonenutrition.com/), a company she started shortly after graduating from college. As you can see, Jasmynne Shaye is a force to be reckoned with, as there really isn’t much she can not do.
