Kicked out of ballet lessons at 4 for being “too much,” Alisa Rosenthal has carried this same joie de vivre through her whole life. From an ill-fated semester at clown school to singing at a nightmare kid’s party, she always finds herself eager to please in this breezy comedic solo storytelling show. “...daffy and sweetly outlandish…” (Chicago Tribune), “Rosenthal’s Big Honor Student Energy is packed with fun escapades and honest reminiscence, delivered by a performer who quickly commands the room and includes her audience in her storytelling.” “...like listening to your very funny, slightly-strange bestie tell stories for an hour..."

Alisa Rosenthal is a writer and actor based in Chicago. A semi-finalist for the Andy Kaufman Award, credits include the Minnesota Fringe Festival, the Twin Cities Jewish Humor Festival, FRIGID New York, the Chicago Women’s Funny Festival, and Artscape Baltimore. Called "...daffy and sweetly outlandish..." by the Chicago Tribune, previous fringe shows include One-Woman Beaches and Songs to Caftan In. She performs as her vaudeville-style, ukulele-playing, zinger slinging alter ego Plucky Rosenthal at speakeasies and watering holes around town.
