Our Story

Riley Billingsley and Liz Kummer met at Columbia College in Chicago. They experienced solo performance and both took a liking to it. Being thrown into such a vulnerable state on stage was incredibly freeing. "It's Personal" is a performance group in L.A. sharing some of the best, funniest, scariest, truthful moments on stage. They are excited to bring a group of people together to laugh, cry, and most importantly relate. What's your story?

Who We Are

It's Personal is a collection of solo performance pieces written and performed by our rotating cast. At our rehearsals, each performer brings pieces that reflect their feelings and point of view; whether it be their relationship with their parents, their devoted love of cheese, their struggle with their identity, or their first love.
It's Personal has grown into so much more than a live storytelling show. We have expanded to include a podcast, a blog, a playwriting series, and so many more things to come!
