Hello and welcome to Cynthia’s fabulous party! Meet our generous host as she greets each and every audience member with a chocolaty hors d'oeuvre. Thank You So Much for Coming relies entirely on audience participation to keep the party moving. Throughout the night, we get to know Cynthia as well as our fellow audience members. She ensures everyone is settled, offering drinks and snacks while she finishes getting ready. Her hosting is frequently interrupted by phone calls from guests who are running late or cancelling at the last minute.
Alex Kern delivers an exquisitely maddening yet endearing performance as Cynthia
Alex Kern delivers an exquisitely maddening yet endearing performance as Cynthia, fully committing to her craft. As I sat in the front row, completely shocked by how the show became progressively unhinged, I couldn’t help but feel for our host. She tried so hard to make everything perfect but could not maintain appearances until the end of the night when she climbed into a rubbish bag.
Even though this show is sure to guarantee laughter, it also addresses a very real issue many people struggle with: making and maintaining friendships and the desire to be liked by others, especially when hosting a party. Cynthia is a character who taps into insecurities about social interactions, creating some uneasy moments that are uncomfortable precisely because of their confrontational nature.
If you enjoy going to parties or experiencing new social interactions, then make sure to see Thank You So Much for Coming, as it promises a plethora of fresh experiences.
