Jill Morley
Jill Morley wrote and performed True Confessions of a Go-Go Girl, which ran in Manhattan, The Texas Fringe Festival, and in San Francisco’s “Solo Mio Festival,” among other artists, such as John Waters, Eric Bogosian, James Lescene, and Karen Black.
True Confessions is a melange of monologues, characters, music, dance and slides culled from Jill's metamorphosis from tomboy to top ranked bikini dancer. Jill likens it to stepping through the looking glass--only her Wonderland consists of seedy go-go bars off the Jersey Turnpike.
In True Confessions of a Go-Go Girl, Jill brings a host of characters to life: Edna, a Colombian women who defies club policy by flashing her breast for bigger tips; Hayley, a biker chick who 'Pudding Wrestles' and gets off on harassing her patron; Donna, a 45 year-old Midwesterner who enjoys the sensuality of her job; and Nina, a high class stripper with implants paid for by her club owning boyfriend.
Several other characters make cameos, such a s Jill's gay male roommate who puts her 'in touch with her femininity" and the bouncer that teaches her how to "hump air." Through it all, Jill ponders the rewards and dangers of the go-go business.
Some of her favorite acting roles include Jackie Kennedy for Japanese television, Queen of the Goggleheads for the Sci-Fi channel, and being part of a Story Theatre Ensemble that was directed by Paul Sills. She most recently performed in BOX for the Women’s Project and appeared in Hal Hartley’s Henry Fool.
Besides collaborating on two radio documentaries for NPR, Jill has been working on a documentary film about strippers, a book of short stories with other go-go dancer/writers, and a novel that Jill is happy to report, has nothing to do with strippers or go-go bars.
