After a very successful workshop production in Santa Monica this past summer, we are opening the world premiere of MONKEYS ON MY BACK & EVERYWHERE ELSE! in March. We have a new director; Chris Barnes and original tangential music written & performed by Wendy Wilson, and they've both brought their unique talents to this hilarious and heart-breaking show, written & performed by multiple award-winning, and emmy nominated, Debbie Kasper. We're thrilled with the result.
Please come back and see what we've done with the place.

About the Show
Debbie's Kasper's newest and most personal one-woman show, Monkeys on my Back & Everywhere Else! was workshopped at The Santa Monica Playhouse, June of 2025. The response was overwhelming...so we
continue. We open with the WORLD PREMIERE of this hilarious/heartwarming play at the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles on March 7, 2026, with new direction by Chris Barnes, and original tangential music written and performed by Wendy Wilson.
In this clever play-within-the-play format, the story is told through the lens of Debbie's addictive/obsessive/ compulsive personality. We open with Debbie working on the very piece we are watching. Debbie's a recovering alcoholic who has suffered immeasurable grief, and is stuck in her house during the pandemic. Kasper slips in and out of several characters who guide her on a road to recovery. And she emerges from the isolation to write her tale of perserverance, hope, a life well-lived, a heart well-loved, and a story well told.

"Has Anybody Seen Debbie?" written and performed by Debbie Kasper, while hilariously satirizing one-person shows, Debbie has lost everything: career, money, love, and even herself. She delves into her life, slipping in and out of ten characters that inspire or annoy her in this scathingly funny and occasionally tragic journey of renewed hope. (this is the play that inspired the play MONKEYS ON MY BACK! )
