NEW SHOW APRIL 15 at the Torrence Cultural Arts Center, California. I’ll be reading excerpts from my high school diary (1980’s) and sharing photos and video from when I was the bullied ‘new kid’ at South Lake Tahoe High. To survive, I cut classes, shoplifted my way through the city, and hung out with the lady my mom was working for, Liza Minnelli. At the time, I didn’t know who she was but her love, humor, and kindness saved my life and made for some really exciting happenstance interactions with her celebrity friends.
As seen on The Today Show! As heard on This American Life! Witness adults sharing their embarrassing childhood diaries, letters, poems, and artwork in front of total strangers at this special presentation of the hit storytelling event, Mortified at the Torrance Cultural Arts Center.
After two decades of shows worldwide, Mortified’s Best Of Show highlights some of the most hilarious, heartbreaking, and awkward tales of teen angst in the show’s history. Discover why Newsweek hailed Mortified “a cultural phenomenon,” The Atlantic called it “hilarious” and Salon named its podcast one of the best of the past decade.
