Love...Who Knew?!
In her original production, “Love..Who Knew?!” award winning actor Ami Brabson explores the many facets of love, from the giddiness of first love to the tenderness of love that is tried and true. A veteran of stage and television, Ami weaves together stories, poetry and music to share her journey and shed light on love’s complexity. Love…Who Knew?! is joyful and entertaining with thought provoking food for your soul.”
Ami produced TOUGH TITTY, a play written by Oni Faida Lampley, about a thirty-seven year old, breast-feeding mother who receives a startling breast cancer diagnosis. With poignant humor, the play depicts her struggle with the shame of illness. Angela learns to let go of her ideas about how life is “supposed” to be, ask for what she needs, and accept the love and limitations of friends, family, medicine, and herself.
Tough Titty
A Change Is Gonna Come
Ami takes us on a musical journey through life’s transitions, big and small. This one-woman show is a powerful blending of poetry, story and song that reflect on the inevitable changes in our lives and the self discovery that often follows. The loss of a parent, the demolition of a home and the discovery of political passions that ultimately inspire reflection and hope.
Phenomenal Women
PHENOMENAL WOMEN is a production featuring stories, poems and music celebrating women who find their voices, speak their truth and inspire others along the way. With a little help from strong women like writer/activist Ruby Dee, literary trailblazer Zora Neale Hurston and Congresswoman Barbara Lee, Ami explores the many facets of being a phenomenal woman.
