Knockoff
Here I tell a story of my family’s acquisition of not one but two dream homes in California in the 1970s, a time during which we were clearly living — and loving — beyond our means.
Performing: Tue, Dec 10 at Local Stories
On Tuesday, December 10th I’ll be performing at Local Stories at Three of Cups at 8:30pm. The holidays are here and host Andrew Linderman has chosen “Gifts” as the show’s theme. Along with Andrew, I’ll be sharing the mic with notables Kambri Crews, Anita Flores and Jerusha Klemperer.
Dream House
Have you ever felt lost and, worse than that, deliberately led astray? It’s a bad feeling. Especially when you’re paying for the privilege. Here I tell the story of my 14 years exploring the mysterious, serpentine corridors of psychoanalysis — and what happened when I declared my intention to leave therapy.
Performing: Mon, Nov 18 at Talk Therapy
On Monday, November 18th I’ll be part of an all-girl review. My fellow storytellers will include Sharon Spell and Kerri Doherty, with comedian Anna Drezen kicking things off. I’ll tell a tale of mystery, horror and psychoanalysis.
Misfit
Some of us are more awkward than others. I told this tale of paralyzing social phobia and the search for friendship at college at the Hartford, CT storytelling show “Speak Up” over the weekend. There was an unintended consequence, but a happy one, as a result.
