More Information
Poignant, and sometimes humorous true stories about the healing power of New Mexico's dirt, growing up in Minnesota, being a mother's daughter, a cross-country teen-age road trip, truth & lies, and more lies... sudden revelations, all woven together with a bit of accordion - revealing life's Small Epiphanies.
I'm a University of Minnesota Theater alum and a BRAND NEW, FIRST TIME PRODUCER @ the MN Fringe. SO happy to be involved...and it's only taken me 33 years.
