(TUCSON—March 25, 2018) —From the shoeboxes in the back of Tucson's closets, Live Theatre Workshop's Etcetera Late-Night Series bring you an original night of middle school angst, lost first love, news of world travels, drug-induced revelations, and more. You sent in your best (or worst) diary entries and letters and we are acting them out for the world to see. Ally Tanzillo's particular brand of humor and heart is guaranteed to make this night of theatre hilarious and probably a little embarrassing.

 

Tanzillo's inspiration for the show came partly from re-reading her own youthful diaries. "Young people are so intense, but they don't have any context. I can't believe how serious I was about the lists I made – favorite albums, boys I thought were cute…And when I read submissions from others and talked to people for this project, I noticed that every person had a story in which he or she felt alone, but no one really was. That really struck me. I knew I could connect to that and make it funny."

 

Tanzillo began taking theatre classes at Live Theatre Workshop (LTW) when she was nine years old until she graduated from high school in 2009. She performed in two LTW Family Series shows while she was in college. Tanzillo is part of an improv duo with Gretchen Wirges called Ex-Boyfriend; they recently performed at the San Diego Improv Festival.

 

"When LTW Executive Director Michael Martinez and I got the idea for this show, I knew Ally would be just the right person to put it together. Her wit and on-point comic instincts mixed with her soul-baring honesty on stage and off made her the perfect person to do justice to these most personal writings that were submitted," said Etcetera Late-Night Series Director Maryann Green.
