Sonja Kinney is inspired by the horrors of the world and yet an immense love that drives her to want to transform them into something beautiful. Her work comes from a desire to help people see themselves differently– whether that means giving women an opportunity to re-author their stories with an empowering voice, or to compassionately suggest that even the good, nice, upstanding versions of masculinity might have blindspots. She’s most passionate about doing so through the use of satire, absurdity and dark comedy to tear apart what appears to be normal in daily life and reveal the underlying barbarity. She believes that the questions worth asking are not the ones with easy answers or maybe with answers at all. And that is where art and performance come in. Sonja will graduate from SOU with a BFA in Acting in Spring of 2026. Instagram @sonjakinney
Description
Cutie Pie is a rowdy comedy about traditional masculinity, the conquest of women, and having a sexy clenched jaw. Proudly clad with memory foam pecs and male rage, Cutie Pie straddles the absurd and the serious and penetrates our collective ideals of manhood. Written and performed by Sonja Kinney, Cutie Pie is a solo show based on personal experience and brought to the stage using elements of clown, physical comedy and a tradition of theatre called bouffon that aims to engage an audience viscerally.
