Blackout - No Hard Feelings. A Darkly Comic Reckoning with Booze, Boys and Big Emotions
Solo Theatre - Kerri Van Auken and Soaring Solo Studios - Ages 18+ - 70 mins
In this dark and sometimes silly tale, we follow Miss Teacher, a seemingly sunny, middle-aged woman in arrested development with a predilection for escapism and pretending in every way including that she’s “just fine!” She’s lost her job, husband, purpose and (sometimes) dignity and is realizing life’s not turning out like she expected. With one fateful bite of cake, she unwittingly takes trip inside her own head to confront the feelings she spent a lifetime blocking and blacking out. With the help of an irresistible cast of characters including Dr. Dom, Mistress of Emotions and Holly, a spiritualist in an unexpected form, Miss Teacher faces her greatest agents of escape: Boys and Booze. Will she return from this head trip victorious, or is she doomed to spend her remaining years in a blackout?
