Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions as award-winning performer Michael-Shaun Hennessey brings his riveting, true-life one-man show, “Searching for Robert Hennessey,”to the Hollywood Fringe Festival.
Playing June 8-29 at the Broadwater Black Box Theater, this extraordinary production chronicles Hennessey’s remarkable 40-year quest for his father, featuring a life lived in the projects, an escape from a cult, a battle with AIDS, and even a kiss with John Stamos.
What happens when the person you’ve spent decades searching for isn’t who you think they are? Hennessey, an acclaimed performer and long-term AIDS survivor, answers this question with a powerful and emotionally charged journey. He takes audiences through false leads, near misses, and an absolutely mind-blowing twist that defies imagination. From changing his own last name to Hennessey, to calling every Robert in the phone book, and creating viral videos, Michael-Shaun’s tireless search culminates in a Father’s Day revelation that will leave audiences speechless.
“This show isn’t just my story—it’s a testament to the power of persistence and the beauty of life’s unexpected coincidences,” says Hennessey. “Sometimes what we’re searching for is hiding just beyond our own backyard.”
“Searching for Robert Hennessey”is a testament to embracing life’s unexpected possibilities and allowing fate to work its magic. Don’t miss this emotional journey that culminates in a revelation so perfect it seems scripted by destiny itself.
