Quick facts
Elm Street Cultural Arts Village welcomes Jessica It's All Good in her Netflix comedy special-style show We're all Chocolate on November 22 at 7:00pm both streaming online and in-person at the City Center Auditorium (8534 Main St. Woodstock, GA 30188). The 90-minute piece features crazy stories from Jessica's life, fusing laughter with very real topics.
In the words of the star
“Love is the answer. At the end of day, everyone just wants to be happy and that comes from a place of love. We spend so much time focusing on what’s negative, and that’s really unhealthy. But if we could take the time to love each other better, I think that the world would be a better place. Love is the answer, and laughter is a good way to get there.”
- Jessica It's All Good

About Dogfight
Before shipping out for the war in Vietnam, a group of US Marines have one last night in San Francisco and place bets on who can find the ugliest woman in town and bring her to their “Dogfight." One marine, Birdlace, discovers a particular woman, Rose, whom he convinces to join him for the “party,” but he experiences a feeling unknown to his training in the military—empathy.
