Learning to Human
written & performed by Sims Holland
September 18 – October 4, 2025
Join Sims Holland on a rollercoaster journey that navigates the chaotic trials of life as an addict to the all-thumbs attempt at building a sober life afterward. Speckled with poetry, dotted with dance numbers, and doused in honesty, this true story will take you on a ride you won’t soon forget.
Actor and stand-up comedian Holland hails originally from Austin Texas. She left Central Texas after high school already grappling with the troubles of a budding addict and proceeded to spend a considerable amount of her adult life running away from herself from the East Coast to the West. Tangled up in addictions, self-doubt and escapism, Holland struggled to make headway as a human until 8 years ago when she finally cleaned up and kicked all the vices.
Hollandâs performance has been garnering accolades winning Best Autobiographical Show in its Off Off Broadway premiere in New Yorkâs United Solo Festival, Austinâs Best of FronteraFest, and receiving a nomination from Austinâs prestigious B. Iden Payne Award panel for Outstanding Solo Performer. The show is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, combining vulnerable stories, hilarious honesty, and beautiful poems that remind us that everyone is still learning to human.
