is thrilled to present the uproarious and deeply moving solo show , Learning to Human, running from August 1-17, 2024. Audiences are invited to join Sims Holland on a rollercoaster journey that navigates the chaotic trials of life as an addict to the all-thumbs attempt at building a sober life afterward. Speckled with poetry, dotted with dance numbers, and doused in honesty, this true story will take you on a ride you won't soon forget.
Actor, stand-up comedian and proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, Holland is a rare, original Austinite. She left Central Texas after high school already grappling with the troubles of a budding addict and proceeded to spend a considerable amount of her adult life running away from herself from the East Coast to the West. Tangled up in addictions, self-doubt and escapism, Holland struggled to make headway as a human until 7 years ago when she finally cleaned up and kicked all the vices.
Holland’s performance of a 20-minute excerpt from Learning to Human garnered acclaim as one of this year's Best of FronteraFest winners. The show is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, combining vulnerable stories, hilarious honesty, and beautiful poems that remind us that everyone is still learning to human.
Dan Prevette, an acclaimed actor, writer, and solo show performer, praises the show saying, “The kids may have Dr. Seuss but grownups need Dr. Sims, whose unique medicine of vulnerable stories, hilarious honesty, and beautiful poems serve to remind us that inside everyone is someone still learning to human.”
Performances will take place at 8:00 PM on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Tickets range from $25 to $28, with a $2 discount available for seniors, active service members, and ACA/ASF members.- Time: 8:00 PMDon't miss your chance to experience Learning to Human at the Hyde Park Theatre this August. Come along for a heartfelt, hilarious, and inspiring ride that will leave you reflecting on your own journey of learning to human.
