Love in the Time of Fifth Grade at QED Astoria

n this comedic one-woman show, Marina explores why she hit her sensual peak in elementary school -- and how her dating life crumbled after puberty.

Set in the early 2000s, Marina draws on a blend of multimedia (ahem stick figures in MS paint ahem), her Italian heritage and the force of Sharon Stone to share her real-life stories of Austen-esque passion from under the age of 10, and Dickensian misery after age 11. And yes, at one point she does flash her bra.

Ultimately, Marina’s journey shows that self discovery is literally about re-discovering your past self... and sharing their diary in public.
