“Terrible Voice”
Performing autobiographical monologue, Dona Budd is a mix of William Faulkner, the school smartass, and a voraciously curious toddler, with a smattering of Mae West. She finds the world infinitely delicious, her curiosity is blind to convention, and she never saw a rule she didn’t want to break. Her performance unfolds a hard-hitting, funny, and untold version of a strange white child growing up in an incomprehensible pre-civil-rights South. With startling combinations, she looks as boldly at the dark side as at the delights—the taste of crayons, a segregated children’s matinee. Dona takes you places you’ve never been.

"The Season’s of One Man’s Life"
Mark Scannell takes you on an autobiographical tour of his life. The proverb says, “Life is like an onion and one peels it crying”. Mark will show you how both pathos and humor elicit that response as he peels away his different identities and chronicles his sorrows and triumphs. His story will leave you with a better understanding of how our experience seasons all of us with wisdom.
