THE PLAY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​I Am Zelda invites audiences into the mind of Zelda Fitzgerald, an artist, icon, and complicated legend, whose voice was too often filtered through someone else’s narrative.

In this intimate solo performance, Zelda speaks directly to the audience as memories surface—glamorous, haunting, funny, and raw. We see her wit, her ambition, her fragility, and her hunger to be taken seriously, not as a muse and wife to a famous author, but as a serious writer, dancer and artist in her own right.
