This one-woman show is a semiautobiographical journey of a spiritually struggling young woman, striving to emotionally survive as the only non-famous person in a very famous family. Losing herself in the arms of an insecure comedian on the rise in Hollywood, and ending up as a patient to a therapist with challenges of her own, she tries reconnect to the magic of her childhood and find her own creative path in a culture that values celebrity above everything else, learning to trust that she is enough. Just Trust was performed this past summer at the Cornelia Street Café and Dixon Place in Manhattan and will be appearing at Afterglow: Provincetown Live Performance Arts Festival this September.

When she isn’t making Jerry Stiller laugh in his living room on the Upper West Side, this is what she has been doing…
The New York Post said of Stiller: She ” aims for something a bit deeper, more intense and realistic…Stiller convincingly becomes her characters, whether she’s portraying a shallow motivational speaker…a self-absorbed matron… or an anxious insecure Jane Fonda creating a video for actors on how to audition…”
