SYNOPSIS:

Deceptively funny, unexpectedly moving, and ultimately uplifting, Making a Show of Myself celebrates seanchas—the ancient Irish art of storytelling—carrying audiences from laughter through darkness and back into light. Acclaimed Irish storyteller Mary Kate O Flanagan brings six true, personal, life-affirming stories to the stage. In the spaces between her tales, she lets slip the secrets of why stories matter—how they settle the spirit and light a spark inside us.
