The Marsh is pleased to announce Nina Wise's WHAT JUST HAPPENED?, an evening of improvisation based on personal and political events which have transpired over the previous twenty-four hours. Wise's autobiographical performances, known for their warmth and compassion, weave irony, physicality and insight into complex, spontaneous narratives. Her work, which has been compared to a cross between Lily Tomlin, the Dalai Lama and Jules Feiffer, is at once full of humor and poignancy. Audiences repeatedly report that they have never seen anything quite like Wise before and that they are at one instant laughing so hard they are falling off their seats and the next moment moved to tears.
Wise finds no venue or subject out of bounds. Her audiences have included think tanks, medical institutions, international conferences and spiritual centers while her subjects range from the environment, death and dying, healing, Jewish identity and Buddhism to...even...golf. Her performances have garnered seven Bay Area Theatre Critics' Circle Awards and she has received three fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and four from the Marin Arts Council. Her stories and articles have appeared widely and her book, A Big New Free Happy Unusual Life: Self Expression and Spiritual Practice for Those Who Have Time for Neither, was published in 2002 by Broadway Books.
