Experience “The Abnormal Heart” in Cleveland This Month

Cleveland is set to host an acclaimed theatrical event this November with the arrival of Parker Mills’ solo comedy, “The Abnormal Heart.” Fresh off a sold-out Hollywood Fringe Festival run and an Off-Broadway United Solo Pride Award, this production promises an evening of laughter, heart, and profound human reflection right here at Playhouse Square, brought to our city by Cleveland native Dawn Sebock.

About “The Abnormal Heart”

Written and performed by the talented Parker Mills, the show invites audiences into a world where Mills masterfully navigates a series of extraordinary and often comedic life experiences. From an unconventional spiritual path to a short career in phone sex and a memorable escape dressed as a gorilla, his narrative is both unique and universally relatable.

This 80-minute, no-intermission performance profoundly explores the resilience of the human spirit. It champions the idea that our hearts, though they may get ‘banged up a little,’ never truly break. Equal parts hilarious, deeply heartfelt, and profoundly human, the show has garnered significant critical acclaim.
