Past Projects

Award-Winning playwright and performer, Terra Taylor Knudson, (2017 Encore Producer’s Award, 2005 Arts Professional of the Year, Long Beach Arts Council), brings her solo show; Willy’s Lil Virgin Queen fresh from the boards of the Santa Monica Playhouse to The Garage Theatre in Long Beach for very special three night engagement September 5th, 6th & 7th at 8:00pm.

Special 2-for-1 tickets are available Thursday night ONLY with Promo Code: “twofer”.

Through Willy’s Lil Virgin Queen, Terra illuminates her personal journey to discover inner strength, triumph over tragedy and find her true power through the words of her truest love; William Shakespeare.

This urgently-paced, hilarious and dark coming-of-age-story dives deeply into the many roles that a woman plays on her road from girlhood to womanhood, and it does not shy away from the darker aspects of finding one’s own purpose in a world that tells girls to shut-up and look pretty.

As was true in the days of the original Virgin Queen; Elizabeth, in a man’s world it takes a woman to rule herself. And in Willy’s Lil Virgin Queen, one woman in particular learns that within the heart of every woman , of every person, there is a queen.

Think you don’t “get” Shakespeare? “Thee’s” and  “Thou’s” got you down? Never fear! There is something for everyone in this madcap, comic romp about a girl and her Bard. (The rest is just much ado about nothing.)Written & Performed by Terra Taylor Knudson
