Annika Hoseth
Hello! My name is Annika Hoseth and I am an LA-based musical theatre writer. I have a passion for writing nuanced, humorous, grounded musicals that inspire empathy, reflection, and joy.
I graduated from Pomona College in 2023, where I wrote and produced two full-length musicals, You're the Sh*t and It Just Takes Time. Pomona's liberal arts education allowed me to study and train as a playwright, composer, actor, director, singer and dancer.
In addition to my own writing, I have a passion for supporting new work as a stage manager or dramaturg. I have worked as a stage manager and dramaturg for three world premiere plays at Moving Arts Theatre Company and an Iron Skirts Salon.
Synopsis
Shirley, Jane, and Victoria are thrilled to have secured the best job for a young woman in 1968… they’re Kittens at the Pussy Cat Cub! As they spend their nights wearing Kitten ears and a tight bodysuit, serving the most powerful men in New York City, the three Kittens believe they are chasing their dreams of acting, modeling, and saving for college in the most modern and empowering way possible. Their boss, Kitten Mother, reveals that Pussy Cat Enterprises will release a magazine with one lucky Kitten posing on the cover. However, the darker underbelly of the club begins to reveal itself and the girls have to grapple with what it means to be a Kitten.
