The Soirée is a theatrical party hosted by one woman, the witty and grandiose Elizabeth, whose charms slowly come unhinged over an interactive performance of physical comedy, stand-up, and other improvisational surprises.

The Soirée is written and performed by Amanda Huotari and directed by Avner Eisenberg (Broadway's Avner the Eccentric). The show debuted in 2007 with the support from the Maine Arts Commission. It's been presented at the New York Clown Theatre Festival, Orlando Fringe Festival, Teatro R101 in Bogota, Colombia, and is currently touring.
