Michelle Lema will perform a reading of her brand new solo show, Bean vs. the Robots, a sci-fi rom-com exploring the inner workings of corporations, love, friendship, and what happens when we desperately try to separate our work from our life.

Moving through real time and flashbacks, the hour-long solo show is the third installment of Lema’s solo shows, the first of which was called Bean, which was awarded Best of Hollywood Fringe and was named a Top Ten Pick of the Fringe World Festival in Australia. Lema has performed in, written, and directed numerous other plays in the U.S. and internationally including productions in Scotland (Edinburgh Fringe Festival) and Germany (International Shakespeare Festival). In addition to her stage work, Lema previously worked for The Walt Disney Company for over a decade, most recently as the Manager, Creative Brand & Development, focusing on digital content creation for the Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, and Disney+ brands. With Disney, she was also host of the Oh My Disney Show, interviewing talent at premieres, press junkets, and live events.
