GUTLESS & GRATEFUL: Gutless & Grateful is the one-woman musical autobiography of Amy Oestreicher, who takes her audience on a comedic journey of hope, resilience and gratitude after a blood clot caused her stomach to literally explode at 18 years old.
Following sold-out runs at theatres nationwide and headlining international conferences, award-winning actress and playwright Amy Oestreicher will bring her hit one-woman musical Gutless & Grateful to the Midtown International Theatre Festival on Saturday August 6th at 8:30 p.m, as seen on NBC's Today, CBS, Huffington Post, Seventeen, Cosmopolitan, TEDx, and more.
Amy Oestreicher shares a powerful message that it's possible to overcome physical and mental health obstacles through interwoven song and dialogue in a primal piece of live storytelling.
After an unexpected blood clot caused her stomach to literally explode at 18 years old, Oestreicher is a survivor of 27 surgeries, a coma, organ failure, six years being unable to eat or drink, and the PTSD that comes from ten years of trauma. She is also a survivor of sexual abuse.
"When I woke from a coma, months later, doctors told me I had no stomach anymore, I couldn't eat or drink, and they didn't know if I'd ever be able to again."
Amy takes audiences on an adventure of 42 field trips to the CT SCAN room, hitting-on doctors, a surprise visit byWilliam Finn at my very own high school graduation in the surgical ICU, and a song David Friedman and Kathie Lee Gifford wrote especially for me after being on The Today Show, all in a 70-minute musical comedy.
The show has been a critic's darling for 4 years and a favorite of Jewish mothers all over, earning a NYC Bistro Award, Woman of the Year in 2014 and a Best Theatre Debut nomination by BroadwayWorld. The story has been featured on CBS, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, and more.
This is no ordinary one-woman show, but an inspiring powerhouse production that leaves audiences in tears and laughing hysterically.
See Gutless and Grateful Saturday August 6th at 8:30pm. Oestreicher will be performing a 45 minute version of her hit one-woman musical. MITF: Summer combines some of the most popular features of past MITF festivals: short plays and musicals, a Variety division, the Short Play Lab, and staged readings. The Festival will take place at the WorkShop Theater's Main Stage and Jewel Box Theaters and will run from July 16 - August 7, 2016. Buy tickets here.
