Tickets Available! Driver’s Seat West Coast Premiere

Based on true events, this one-woman show tells the story of living with OCD, a once-in-a-lifetime heartbreak, a mental health hospitalization, coming out as queer, and, just possibly, learning how to drive. Written and performed by Ellie Brelis, her darkest moments are told with truth and humor as she finds her unique voice while navigating recovery. Winner of the 2022 NY Frigid Festival Audience Choice Award, the West Coast Premiere, don’t miss the West Coast premiere of Driver’s Seat!

“After being hospitalized, I scoured everything online and in TV and film, looking for someone else’s experience with OCD. There was nothing that mirrored my experience of living with this disorder, or receiving intensive care that rang true to me. So, I started writing this in July 2020,” says playwright Brelis. “The play has evolved over the past two years, but the story remains the same: taking agency over one’s life and discovering comedy in dark moments. Finding the humor in, and sharing my lived experience, will hopefully widen the scope of how people view OCD, and normalize treatment for mental health emergencies.”

Driver’s Seat opens October 1st and runs through October 23rd in The Emerson Theatre at the Theatre 68 Arts Complex in North Hollywood. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm and Sundays Driver’s Seat opens October 22nd and runs through November 13th in The Emerson Theatre at the brand new Theatre 68 Arts Complex in North Hollywood.
