Does what it says on the tin! This is a deep dive into the realities of depression… not for the faint of heart.

The show is honest, with a touch of dark humor. Musical interludes support the story with glimpses into the art made during depressive episodes.

I’m glad I saw this show.

This brand new show is a little rough around the edges, and that is part of its charm. The performer is so, so likable; her struggle to run sound, make foley sound effects, perform, and manage the audience interaction all on her own make the show clunky in a weirdly wonderful way. The story is silly and the stakes are low, but the audience interaction is delightfully unpredictable and I guess the real stakes are whether she can take the audience nonsense and make it work. And no, it's not the kind of audience interaction we all hate, it's low-expectation, on-your-own-terms, fun and playful interaction. I recommend this show to folks who enjoy unpolished performances with lots of heart. I would love to see this show again after it's had a little time to age into itself.
