IN RESIDENCE: December 12, 2016 

My dad was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2014, died in 2015 and we are now in 2016. This show takes you through the impossibly painful journey of saying goodbye while introducing you to his magical, eccentric spirit that never left. We will cry. But my dad once sent me to school with fake poop to “spice things up in algebra” so we will take breaks from crying as well. My dad always said that there were no bad days. So come, let’s take what would be a bad month, a bad day, and make it into a good one.

PERFORMANCES: Monday December 12, 2016 
TIME: 8:00 PM
LENGTH OF SHOW:45 minutes
PRICE: $8.00, Tickets at the door will be $10, so please purchase early!
At IRT:154 Christopher st. NYC #3B (third floor)

“I know it’s cliché to say I laughed and cried but I did both laugh (a lot) and cry (sobbed). The show was so emotional, hilarious and honest.” –Libby Phillips, LibbyPR.com

IRT Theater is a grassroots laboratory for independent theater and performance in New York City, providing space and support to a new generation of artists. Tucked away in the old Archive Building in Greenwich Village, IRT’s mission is to build a community of emerging and established artists by creating a home for the development and presentation of new work. Some of the artists we have supported include Young Jean Lee, Reggie Watts and Mike Daisey.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, New York State Council on the Arts, Office of Council Member Corey Johnson and The Nancy Quinn Fund, a project of ART-NY.
