Statistics-obsessed insurance agent Angela races into her basement to escape an oncoming storm. Trapped below ground, she confronts the events and relationships of her life—the heartbreaking, the hair-raising, and the hilarious—in a narrative that hurtles from pound cake to Disney World to Best Buy to Hamlet to her bold plan for a beautiful future. Resilient, funny, optimistic, dishonest, and not sorry for herself, Angela cracks wise, lies, and eventually lets the audience in on the biggest secret of all—the truth—as she waits for the storm to break.
Natural Shocks is an immersive, 1-woman show dealing with themes of domestic violence. Starring Trinity Smith Keel as Angela, and featuring live original sound by Franklin Keel. Produced by Archnemesis, the contemporary-works arm of Nemesis Theatre Company. Directed by Melon Wedick.
$15 Thursdays
$30 Fridays–Sundays
