The Scoop: Culver City resident and Moth StorySLAM Champion Miyo is taking over the local stage this May with a weekend of high-energy storytelling and comedy. After her February premiere of "How To Die In Japan" sold out in less than 36 hours, Miyo is bringing the production back to The Fanatic Salon for two encore performances on May 2nd and 3rd.

The Show: How To Die In Japan is a hilarious and moving dive into the rigid world of Japanese etiquette, family chaos, and the bewildering rules of "passing on." From cultural minefields to side-splitting study of Time, Place, and Occasion (TPO), Miyo contrasts the meticulous customs of her native Japan with the "casual chaos" of American life.

The Experience: This isn't just a solo show—it’s a multimedia event. Miyo is joined on stage by award-winning composer Michael D. Mortilla (Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences), whose live original score acts as a second character in the performance.

Tickets & Info: Seats for the February run went fast, so early booking is highly recommended.

When: May 2 @ 8:00 PM & May 3 @ 2:00 PM
Where: The Fanatic Salon Theater, 3815 Sawtelle Blvd, Culver City
