How To Be A Star - written and performed by Emily Dayton Evans

How To Be a Star is a one woman show written and performed by Emily, and directed by Marina Gasparyan. In this show Emily plays a heightened version of herself; an esteemed and arrogant actress taking the stage for a reading of her debut memoir: How To Be A Star. Emily reads a series of comic anecdotes from the memoir before things take a turn, and Emily’s repressed childhood traumas begin to resurface. This show is a hysterical and poignant exploration of mental illness, intergenerational trauma, and a lesson in resilience and the power of a dream. It has been performed in May 2023, and November 2023 at Caveat NYC to sold out audiences.
