Awakening(s)…Mixologist to Psychologist at Don't Tell Mama

Lionel R. Shockness returns with a new solo show exploring what happens when a 33-year-old bartender returns to college to study law and instead discovers his calling as a psychotherapist. Featuring the music of Stephen Sondheim, Stephen Schwartz, David Shire, Johnny Mercer and more, the evening blends music, storytelling, laughter, and heartfelt reflection drawn from decades of counseling couples. Shockness is joined by Musical Director and Arranger Gregory Toroian on piano, Tom Hubbard on bass, and David Silliman on drums, and the show is directed by Lina Koutrakos.
