Commissioned
by Audacity Theatre Lab's Artistic Director Brad McEntire from Matt Lyle in
the summer of 2008. Matt Lyle's HELLO HUMAN FEMALE was the first full-length
work recieving a World-Premiere he himself has not directed.
Audacity
was thrilled to collaborate with Lyle and play in his twisted, sweet, comic
little world.
