Dead Doves and Lemons
Advertisement
Hello, friends!
While over in the UK, I developed a show called Dead Doves and Lemons OR Everything You've Ever Wanted To Know About Fan Fiction (but were too afraid to ask).
It's a 60-minutes unhinged look at (you guessed it) fan fiction: where it came from, why people like it, why people hate it, and why it's a valid art form.
I'm coming home for a bit in July and the amazing team over at The Brick House (thanks Amanda and Cole) offered me some space to perform the show.
This is a small thank you to everyone in Wisconsin who has believed in me, supported me, and cheered me on. Tickets are PWYC and can be purchased through Eventbrite or at the door (though booking ahead of time is encouraged).

A one-woman-show that celebrates storytellers (and the freak inside us all).
Your loved one just came out as a (GASP!) fan fiction writer. How do you respond to that? What will the neighbours think? What is Omega slick, anyway? Don't worry because fan fiction veteran MinaRoseTook is here to answer all your questions. Join us on an eclectic, hilarious, and heartfelt journey where we’ll explore transformative works: how fan fiction came to be, why people like it, why people hate it, and why it's a valid form of art. But this isn't going to be your usual lecture. It's part theatre, part puppet show, part writing exercise, and so much more. Who knows...maybe you'll even write something!
Best suited for those 16 and older.
