Polly Frost Brings One-Person Show to Englert Theatre, 5/19
The Englert Theatre will present Polly Frost on Saturday, May 19 at 8pm. Frost will perform her one-person show "How to Survive Your Adult Relationship with Your Family."
As Frost says, "What pleases me is how many people have come up to me afterwards and talk about their own family experiences."
Polly Frost's humor has been published in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Atlantic and many other publications. Her stories and essays have been included in The New Yorker "best humor" anthologies Fierce Pajamas and Disquiet, Please! Frost says, "After years of writing humor, I realized that I wanted to perform in front of live audiences. Not as a stand up comedian, but as a person who's looking at life and sharing some funny reflections about it with the audience."
Polly Frost's performance is part of the Intimate at the Englert Series. Intimate at the Englert events bring both the audience (limited to 100 people) and the performers onstage together: the connection between artist and audience is direct and electrifying. The series is sponsored by Little Village Magazine.
Tickets are $20 in advance or $22 day of show, and available online at englert.org, or by calling the Englert Box Office at 319/688-2653.
