New Writing, Dark Comedy

Woman in the Arena


A funny, moving and uplifting one-sided conversation about neurodivergence, trauma, dead bodies and other lighthearted topics. Award-winning New York City writer and Storm of a Woman Jen DiGiacomo immerses the audience in pivotal moments from her life, integrating an old-school slideshow, phone calls and voiceovers into a powerful debut of her one-woman show. Part confessional, part TED talk and part dark comedy, the show opens with the hum of a slide projector and perched upon the stage an unopened letter with Open Me written across it.
