Event

"Gutless & Grateful: My Surgical, Beautiful Detour"

Written & performed by Amy Oestreicher
Directed by Jerold Goldstein

After its sold-out, Broadway World Award-nominated run in NYC, and esteemed tour across the country, Oestreicher's near-death experience and unique personal story are once again woven into a moving, entertaining, and inspiring evening of music, humor, surprise, and triumph. At 18, Oestreicher fell into a coma after a blood clot abruptly caused her stomach to literally explode. After a coma, organ failure, 27 surgeries and six of the past 10 years without food or drink, her passion and hunger for life stayed strong, proving that with hope, anything is possible. Come for a laugh-out-loud musical celebration of life, gratitude and the "detours" that unite us all.

Emerging Artists returns with their one-of-a-kind festival. Visit the theater any evening during this three-week event, and you'll find yourself transported in a number of surprising ways: by a single performer embodying a whole host of characters; by a more experimental theater piece "done differently" that challenges and delights; by a cozy two-person show exploring relationships; or perhaps by a bouncy new musical that will have you humming. Emerging Artists has always been about new works, new talents, new voices. That's never been more evident than now.
