But it is compelling stuff when it is at its most frank – even if it is “quasi-fictional, sorta autobiographical.”

Its running theme, at its core, seems to be about Nugent’s struggle to become a better man. You see, what Partial Nugity is and what it isn’t is a secret to be revealed only to those who’ve purchased a ticket.īut what I can tell you is that it is honest. Partial Nugity, written and performed by Tommy “The Reverend” Nugent, is none of these. Cost is $10 in Rogue Bucks or cash.Įnjoy a fun video interview with Gemma about the show:Īt most Fringe and Fringe-style Festivals (like the Rogue), you find a lot of solo performances talking about the performer’s “life.” The top three areas of life solo performers love to tackle: 1) overcoming child abuse – with a hopeful lesson 2) overcoming addiction – with a hopeful lesson and 3) hilarious tales from their day job- with a hopeful lesson. Her remaining performances are Friday, March 7 at 7 p.m. It is on stage at Cal Arts Severance at 1401 North Wishon Ave. It’s a wonderfully done show and I really hope Gemma returns to Rogue next year with another piece of Sandra’s story. I highly recommend seeing The Honeymoon Period Is Officially Over while you still can. You soon forget that it’s all being played by one actor and just immerse yourself into the show because she does such an amazing job of making it all real. With no set beyond a piano bench, barefoot, and just a t-shirt and slacks, Gemma manages to bring every one of these characters to life to tell an interesting story. Some of my favorite parts were the interactions between the cat and the hamster! I loved the cat Hawthorne. It is filled with totally relatable, sexy, sad and funny moments. The story follows Sandra’s often troubled romantic relationship with her boyfriend, and later, husband, and Sandra’s journey to finding herself and what she really wants. The characters include quite the variety for one person to play: men, women, a seven-year-old child, a frisky feline, an irresistible hamster, numerous feathery fowl, a jazzy sax and even the element of fire. According to her article for KRL about the show, it is a semi-autobiographical piece. What is amazing about this show is that all 20 of the characters are played brilliantly by Gemma. There are a few moments when that character is not on stage, but even then, all of the characters connect back to her at some point.
