Whoa, Nellie!
Thursday, June 8, 7:30 p.m. at McCoy Studio Theater, MACC
June 01, 2006
[COMEDY] Alison Arngrim, the child star who played Nellie Oleson on Little House on the Prairie, brings her one-woman act to the MACC. At 15, Arngrim was already taking the stage as a stand up comic but when her friend was diagnosed with HIV in the ‘80s, she found that her sense of humor could work as a healing agent. Now, after fundraising and educating galore, she is taking time out so that you too can experience her outrageous wit and gain a whole new perspective on growing up in “the Biz,” telling about her life as everyone’s favorite toxic pre-teen brat, complete with petticoats and ringlets. Prepare for some serious dishing of the dirt on Hollywood, TV land in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and much more. Tickets: $18, with a portion of the proceeds to benefit Maui AIDS Foundation. Call 242-7469.
