Villain Era is a multimedia solo show that sheds light on Star's true story of when in 2019, she experienced an overnight rise to viral fame when cast in a YouTube reality show called “ Odd Man Out: Vegans versus Meat Eaters” and went viral to 17 million views! Positioned as the "villain" through editing, Star faced 5 years of online harassment, trolling, and public vitriol—all for simply existing in the wrong narrative. This comedic cautionary tale takes a raw and bold approach by using the real footage of harassment from Reddit, YouTube, and Instagram as it takes audiences through the complex world of online fame, anonymity, and the devastating mental health toll that comes with it. Directed by Ryan Cunningham (Broad City, Search Party) and Co-Produced by Christine Walters (JFL), this show invites us to take a deeply personal look at how we relate online.

An excellent performance, both funny and emotional, which raises important questions about misrepresentation, social media, and online shaming.”
