THE SHOW:
"Inside Private Lives" goes behind the headlines into the very private lives of public personas. The audience is part of the action, as they are encouraged to confront and challenge the likes of cult leaders, celebrities, political operatives, sports figures and other notorious newsmakers of the 20th century. Scandals and secrets are revealed. Six controversial figures are featured at every performance, and with a gallery of over 15 characters, every show is different.
Creator/Producer Kristin Stone says, "I am thrilled to bring “Inside Private Lives” back for our Los Angeles’ audiences. We anticipate each performance with great enthusiasm, as every night is always filled with surprises!"

investor convicted of tax evasion and other crimes. Her flamboyance and reputation

of the '20s and '30s who thought she was above the law (Molly

Wolf). |

Brownie
Wise, the "First Lady" of Tupperware who, by inventing the famous
"party plan" marketing system, made sure that Tupperware's burping seal echoed
in kitchens all over America and that women stayed at home to hear it (Eileen
O'Connell). |
Each actor has meticulously researched the historical facts behind each character he/she has scripted and plays. This will be a unique theatrical experience, one that audience members would be unlikely to have anywhere else in Los Angeles in the current season, as controversial people of recent history come alive and interact with them. DISCLAIMER: The real-life figures as portrayed in Inside Private Lives are the actors' artistic interpretations and are not meant to be fully factual representations of real events in the subjects' lives.
