Getting Personal with Liz Kummer and Riley Billingsley
The co-founders of It’s Personal get real about what it’s like running their own theatre company.
Liz Kummer and Riley Billingsley got their first taste of solo performance while students at Columbia College in Chicago. Now in Los Angeles, for the past four years the two women have been sharing the art of solo performance with creatives and audiences alike through their theatre company, It’s Personal.
It’s Personal is a collection of solo performance pieces written and performed by our rotating cast. At our rehearsals, each performer brings pieces that reflect their feelings and point of view; whether it be their relationship with their parents, their devoted love of cheese, their struggle with their identity, or their first love. — itspersonalonstage.com
Below, Kummer and Billingsley give us the inside scoop on running a theatre company, what makes a successful solo performance piece, and their advice to anyone who wants to experience this art form.
