Fresh from a critically acclaimed sellout run off-Broadway, nominated for Best Solo Performance by The New York Critics Outer Circle Awards, this is pure distilled theatre. Mary Kate O Flanagan tells six of the tales that made her a Grand Slam Champion Storyteller at The Moth on two continents, while making a case for why understanding how storytelling works will change your life.
“We’re all feeling what O Flanagan is feeling, moved by her energy and poetry. Her stories are heartwarming and heartbreaking but ULTIMATELY LIFE-AFFIRMING.” – Mark Rifkin, This Week in New York
“People will be POSITIVELY GLAD to make Flanagan’s BIG-HEARTED ACQUAINTANCE.” – Michael Sommers, New York Stage Review
“Consistently REAFFIRMING, frequently JOYFUL” – Elysa Gardner, New York Sun
