<div>“It’s a little <em>Mozart in the Jungle</em> with a touch of Lily Tomlin and a whole lot of originality.”
</div>
<div>-<em>Kings River Lif</em>e magazine
</div>

</div>
<div>“She knows not only when a note is needed, but just as importantly, when there is a need for a silence.”
</div>
<div>-<em>Everything Theater UK</em>, London
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“Beautifully moving, shyly entertaining, wonderfully performed!”
</div>
<div>-<em>The TVolution</em>, Los Angeles
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“As irreverent as it is poignant”
</div>
<div>-<em>Australian Arts Review</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“Hall finds a high wire on which she balances her act between transcendence and goofiness.”
</div>
<div>-<em>Stage Raw Los Angeles </em>
</div>

</div>
<div>From gracing the stages of Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood Bowl to her four seasons on camera as the Cellist on the TV show <em>Glee</em>, <strong>Karen Hall</strong> boasts a diverse resume as a classical musician. But she's so much more!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since 2023, she's performed her acclaimed, one-woman show, <strong><em>Delusions &amp; Grandeur</em></strong>, at fringe festivals around the world in Los Angeles, London, San Diego, Sydney, Melbourne and Vancouver—<em>and she did this entirely on her own. </em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This August, she's taking her show to the biggest performance arts festival in the world, <strong>Edinburgh Fringe</strong>, and I'm looking to our community for some financial support. Karen was scouted to perform at Summerhall—one the best venues at the festival—and she has a UK producer, but even so, Edinburgh Fringe is a costly commitment for artists who are required to pay up front for their venue.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I first met Karen in 2013 in an improv class (so LA!), and I was immediately impressed by her constant drive to diversify and better herself as an artist. Back then, she already had the chops as a professional cellist and a music educator, but in the 12 years since we've met, she's leveled-up in the improv community <em>and </em>the clown community. That's right, Karen is also a clown. <em>Delusions &amp; Grandeur</em> is a combination of all of these talents, where she skillfully juggles between a cello recital, a clown show, and an incredibly personal story about the struggles of being a live performer. (She also juggles, literally.)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every single donation, no matter the amount, will help Karen and her production company, More Play Productions, reach a whole new audience. Anything you can give is appreciated, and it would be amazing if you can share this fundraiser with your artistic communities as well.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your support!
