Based on the poetry collection of the same name, Good Actors is an irreverent, moving, funny, genre-bending one-woman show about the beauty and impossibility of being human.

About the Show

How do we transition between art and life when life itself is a creative act? Where are the edges? Do we ever know what we’re doing? It's a bit Spaulding Grey and a bit Maria Bamford and a bit Sleater-Kinney. The text is grounded in everyday life and centers on subjects such as divorce, motherhood, loss and sexuality — all filtered through popular culture and a wry sense of humor. The performance is directed and produced by Aaron Angello and features bold, vibrant animations created specifically for the text by filmmaker Kelly Sears.
