Amber the A.I. therapist is here. Broken hearts, addicts in recovery, a polyamorous lesbian awaits the arrival of Superintelligence, a grieving savant who likes donuts.... Wait. Someone needs a piece of somebody’s liver? Maybe it's time to return to our breath.
In BRAVO 25, winner of the ENCORE! Producers' Award 2017 at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, and named "Best Bet" by Theatre is Easy, NY in February 2018, queer artist Eliza Gibson draws on her real-life experience as a social worker and therapist to bring to life an A.I. avatar and six humans in a support group unlike any you've ever seen!
The show premiered at the Rogue Festival in Fresno in March 2017, and was produced by Beyond Words at Stage Werx Theatre in April 2017, had an extended run at the Hollywood Fringe Festival in July 2017 and a run at FRIGID New York in February 2018. An excerpt was selected to compete in SF's PianoFight’s ShortLived competition in February 2016, and in January 2018, the show was selected for a Marsh Rising performance at The Marsh in San Francisco and subsequently booked for a run September - October 2018. Like Eliza's solo show, And Now, No Flip Flops?!, BRAVO 25 is directed by David Ford.
“Gibson is phenomenal.... this hilarious and touching solo show has a therapeutic effect itself, maybe because of Gibson’s background as a clinical social worker.”

“Amusing, touching, and entertaining….Undeniable universal appeal.”
