- **Event Description**: All the Natalie Portmans
A staged reading by C.A. Johnson | Directed by Bryan Barbarin

Sixteen-year-old Keyonna is smart, "too gay," and too lonely to fit in — so she escapes into the glamour of rom-coms and red carpets, into the worlds of her muse, Natalie Portman. But when the Natalie Portmans in her head start talking back, Keyonna has to face the very real drama waiting for her offstage. Lyrical, funny, and unflinching, this is a story about race, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. Carlsbad Playreaders and San Diego premiere!
