SACRED IS THE NEW PROFANE:
A Solo Show Chronicling a Journey From Drama Queen to Dharma Queen Remounts as Part of the Women at Work Festival
“The truth will set you free, but first it’s really gonna piss you off,” Cheryl Harnest says in her funny, poignant, and deadly serious solo show SACRED IS THE NEW PROFANE. Written and performed by Harnest, SACRED IS THE NEW PROFANE is told stylistically; mixing genres of stand-up, story-telling and character driven scenes, Harnest portrays a breakdown that transformed into a break-through. Directed by Jeremy Bloom, the show performs [in tandem with Richard Ballon monologues- Spirited & The Last Blow] as part of the Women at Work Festival with proceeds toward the Young Girls Scholarship Program.
The spawn of a sex-educator (mother) and a Reverend (father), Cheryl Harnest (Creator Performer) is a performer, writer, teacher and coach. She wrote and performed the solo show MotherLoad in Los Angeles and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Of the show, the LA Weekly said “Harnest single-handedly redeems the wrung-out one-woman genre…she stripes her victims with comic skid marks.” An MFA graduate of the NYU Dramatic Writing Program, Cheryl’s full length-play Scared Clouds was presented in Ensemble Studio Theater’s Octoberfest as well as Naked Angel’s Writer’s Forum. She has written and performed stand up comedy at various clubs in New York and Los Angeles. She is a teaching artist and has worked with organizations such as, the Jewish Community Center and Periwinkle National Theatre. Cheryl is a certified Radical Forgiveness coach.
