Optimistic Personality Disorder
November 7th @ 7 PM
Optimistic Personality Disorder is a hilarious and heartwarming one-woman show by Merit Kahn that’s part TED Talk, part stand-up, and part therapy (if therapy included tequila).
It’s a rollercoaster through life’s messiest moments—childhood, teenage dramas, divorcing a narcissist, dating as a single parent, career curveballs — and cancer… cause why not add that to the mix… and how one woman found the funny in all of it.
You’ll laugh till you cry. Then maybe cry a little. Then laugh some more.
“It’s not my story that matters… it’s that you leave the theater inspired by your own.”
Whether you’re navigating midlife mayhem or just need a break from being everyone’s everything, this show will make you feel seen, uplifted, celebrated and wildly entertained.
