I thought I would perform stand-up about menopause. Then realized I was a chicken shit and switched it to a blog. At some point, I decided I should perform my menopause rants and signed up for a small and far away Fringe Festival on Prince Edward Island where I could perform anonymously and get it out of my system. Unfortunately, the festival logistics proved to be too expensive and I couldn't do it and exhaled for the first time since I'd signed up.
Next, my silly husband suggested I find a fringe festival in our time zone so that I could continue working if I was accepted to the festival. And the first festival to accept me was San Francisco, where I knew lots of people. So much for anonymity. [Insert panic.]
Press Release
WiseAcres West returns to San Francisco with AUNT FLO IS DEAD at the 31st Annual San Francisco Fringe Festival
WiseAcres West presents AUNT FLO IS DEAD, written and performed by Katherine Murphy, as part of the 31st Annual San Francisco Fringe Festival. Katherine joins 20 other independent theater companies from September 8th thru September 17th at the EXIT Theatre, 156 Eddy Street in San Francisco.
When Aunt Flo died, havoc was wreaked, and Katherine screaked. No one warned her. Now she’s on a mission to warn you. In this solo performance, Murphy wants you to laugh until you’re appalled at the information available about menopause. The show challenges your attitudes and might just educate a few.
