It’s court but with dolls. I accuse u of a crime. U defend urself against my dolls. Pick up your defense attorney and make her speak! See what a professional doll stylist does with her toys afterhours. Have an intimate fringe experience at a real wig store on Hollywood blvd. The American court system has been said to play out like theater and in this curious playtime experience, we expect nothing less.

Her doll judge will judge you, her doll prosecutor will prosecute you and a carnival of witnesses, evidence, and plastic finger pointing will play out, inviting you to pick up a toy and bring law to order. Maddie is not only a doll collector but a professional commercial doll stylist, employed to pose, style, and rig toys for shoots (at the real flesh abd blood MATTEL!) She got a degree in sculpture, working in miniature fabrication for year alongside working as a child hand model, puppeteering dolls for narrative play content such as Barbie Live in the Dreamhouse.

About Hollywood Fringe
The Hollywood Fringe Festival is an annual, open-access, community-derived event celebrating freedom of expression and collaboration in the performing arts community. Each June during the Hollywood Fringe, the arts infiltrate the Hollywood neighborhood: fully equipped theaters, parks, clubs, churches, restaurants and other unexpected places host hundreds of productions by local, national, and international arts companies and independent performers. Participation in the Hollywood Fringe is completely open and uncensored. This free-for-all approach underlines the festival’s mission to be a platform for artists without the barrier of a curating body. By opening the gates to anyone with a vision, the festival is able to exhibit the most diverse and cutting-edge points-of-view the world has to offer. Additionally, by creating an environment where artists must self-produce their work, the Fringe motivates its participants to cultivate a spirit of entrepreneurialism in the arts.
