Punk Grandpa

Presented by Glitter Candy Productions - Chicago, IL & New York, NY

Written & Performed by Laura Scruggs, Directed by Janie Martinez

Punk Grandpa is about one magical weekend Laura spent with her grandpa at 5 3/4 years old, portrayed through storytelling, dance, music and vintage family movies and photos. Grandpa was the free-est, most inappropriate person Laura ever knew and this show demonstrates how he set Laura free to be herself through his humor and unpredictable, wild ways. It'll put hair on your chest. Sun 3/6, 5:10pm @ UNDER St. Marks (94 St. Marks Place)

Nicole was six when her dad died. But she kept trying to get his attention in hopes he'd come back. WHY SO MUCH SHAME? uses vivid storytelling to explore a child's unspoken grief, a woman's confrontation with the truth, and the powerful things that happen when we stop pretending.

Sun 3/6, 6:50pm @ UNDER St. Marks (94 St. Marks Place)
