Blackout

Hailey Henderson

LOCATION: Seattle, Washington

SYNOPSIS: Cheers! Grab a cold beer and a sunflower and settle in for a story. This autobiographical solo play by Hailey Henderson explores the destructive nature of sexual and emotional abuse and the cost of blending in to survive. Henderson embodies her mother, her ex-boyfriend, her abuser and herself in a funny, edgy, radical reclaiming of her true story. This summer, Blackout is going on tour for a series of intimate Porch Performances, hosted in private residences (and a few theatres too!) in all the cities Henderson has called “home.” Blackout: A One-Woman Show is a journey out of hiding and into the light.

GENRE: Theatre, One-Person Show, Comedy, Drama, Original Script

CONTENT RATING: FFF - Full-Fledged Fringe (R)

ARTIST BIO: Hailey Henderson is a Seattle-based actor, teaching artist and singer. Self described as a small town girl by way of the magical red rock country of Moab, Utah—her love for performing began with howling at the moon and story-telling around the campfire. With a bit of red dirt ground into her small-town soul, she left Moab to study theater in Salt Lake City, graduating from Westminster College with her BFA in Acting. She then moved to Eugene, Oregon, where she performed in several theatre companies both in Eugene and in Portland, Oregon. She then moved to Seattle where she earned her MFA in Acting from the Professional Actor Training Program at the University of Washington.
