Noah Eisenberg to Present MY THERAPIST TOLD ME NOT TO at Chelsea Table + Stage

My Therapist Told Me Not To, a new solo show by actor, director, and producer Noah Eisenberg will be performed at Chelsea Table + Stage on Friday, April 11 at 7:00 PM.
 
If someone asked you to choose your closest-held values from a deck of cards, would you know which ones are yours or the ones you were told to pick up? In his second session with his therapist, Noah Eisenberg was asked to define just that.
 
In My Therapist Told Me Not To Noah takes you on the journey of the ten values he chose during this therapy session and the songs and stories that reshaped his identity from “who he was supposed to be” to who he really is. Exploring the intersections between ambition, sex, love, loss, and artistic freedom, Noah drops the facade and invites you into his most intimate session.
