"Wookin Pa Nub"  

If you’ve spent any time in the Los Angeles area you know that finding love ain’t easy.  Just ask Erika Green who has been a search for the perfect relationship since the age of seven and won’t stop her dogged pursuit until she finds the “Captain” to her “Tenille”, the peanut butter to her jelly, the macaroni to her…well you get the point.  In her one woman show, Wookin Pa Nub, Erika takes the audience on a fun-filled, music-fueled ride through her hilarious and completely awkward love history.  (where else can you find Spandau Ballet, accidental adultery,  and a musical homage to gay men?)

*************************************

The first time Erika donned one of her mother’s wigs, a pair of her high heels, and a hairbrush, at the age of five, she knew she was destined for greatness if not an incredibly wild ride through life.  Involved in theatre arts from an early age, she performed a lot of opera and musical theatre in High School.  Interestingly enough, when it came time for college, she chose to attend Cornell University’s world renown Hotel School because she was hell bent on becoming a chef like her childhood idol, Julia Child only with an afro and much more attitude.  While Erika made her way through the hospitality industry, theatre was never far away as she was an “Actlete” with the improv group Comedy Sportz in Arlington, VA. After one winter too many on the east coast, Erika moved to California where she received her MBA from UCLA’s Anderson School of Business and moved into the entertainment industry.  Since her westward turn, Erika has written scripts and rants for herself, as well as sketch comedy for groups like Big News. “Wookin Pa Nub” was Erika’s first foray into long format, single person performance.  Currently Erika writes and performs pieces monthly with “The Write Club,” a group of divas who “tell it like it is” about themselves and the world around them.  She may not be a chef, but you better believe she still cooks like nobody’s business!
