Carla Hall is a judge on Food Network’s Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking, Summer, Holiday & Halloween Baking Championships, host of Max’s Chasing Flavors & ABC’s The Chew, competed on Bravo’s Top Chef & Top Chef: All Stars and so much more.

Award-winning chef, best-selling author, and beloved TV personality, Carla Hall, is at the top of her game. But getting there was no picnic. In this theatrical one-woman show, Carla Hall invites you to “strap in” for a wild, hilarious, and emotional ride as she reveals how she learned to embrace her own authenticity, “work her quirk” and finally step into her power. From her Tennessee roots as an awkward theater camp kid, to Howard University, to a stint on the runways of Paris, to her irreverent takes on the confusing expectations of Black excellence, crushing sexism, and the many attempts to erase her uniqueness, Carla has had to battle every step of the way to find her true voice -- and wait till you hear it. In this insightful and inspiring World Premiere, Carla reveals the secret ingredients to her greatest creation: herself. This intimate exchange will leave audiences laughing, thinking, feeling and… maybe even discovering a little of their own power in simply being themselves.

We can all catch some measure of [Carla Hall’s] infectious energy and exceptional joie de vivre.” - Marie Clare
