OVERVIEW

In this fiercely funny one-woman tour-de-force based on her own life, writer/actor Roxana Ortega (Nickelodeon's The Casagrandes, The Groundlings) navigates the chaos of her mother’s mental decline with outrageous humor and unbreakable spirit. Playing everything from a mermaid-obsessed aunt to a prickly sherpa, Roxie takes us on a wild ride into an opera house, up a killer mountain, and through the doomscape of her own mind. Heartfelt and hilarious, Am I Roxie? explores duty, destiny, and how facing your darkest fears can reveal who you truly are.

Audience Engagement initiatives for Am I Roxie? are supported by The Sheri and Les Biller Family Foundation.
