SUMMARY:Smut: An Unseemly Story (The Greening of Mrs. Donaldson)
DESCRIPTION:One of England’s finest and most loved writers\, Alan Bennett\, explores the uncomfortable and tragicomic gap between people’s public appearance and their private desires in this tender and surprising story. In The Greening of Mrs. Donaldson\, a recently bereaved widow finds interesting ways to supplement her income by performing as a patient for medical students\, and renting out her spare room. Quiet\, middle-class\, and middle-aged\, Mrs. Donaldson will soon discover that she rather enjoys role-play at the hospital\, and the irregular and startling entertainment provided by her tenants.A master storyteller dissects a very English form of secrecy with this story of the unexpected in otherwise apparently ordinary lives.  Directed by Amy Kossow.

SUMMARY:Scaachi Koul + Doree Shafrir
DESCRIPTION:A conversation between Saachi Koul and Doree Shafrir. \nA debut collection of fierce and funny essays about growing up the daughter of Indian immigrants\, addressing sexism\, cultural stereotypes and the universal miseries of life by rising star Scaachi Koul. \nIn One Day We’ll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter\, Koul deploys her razor sharp humor to share all the fears\, outrages\, and mortifying moments of her life. She learned from an early age what made her miserable\, and for Scaachi anything can be cause for despair. Whether it’s a shopping trip gone awry; enduring awkward conversations with her bikini waxer; overcoming her fear of flying while vacationing halfway around the world; dealing with internet trolls\, or navigating the fears and anxieties of her parents. Alongside these personal stories are pointed observations about life as a woman of color\, where every aspect of her appearance is open for critique\, derision\, or outright scorn. Where strict gender rules bind in both Western and Indian cultures\, leaving little room for a woman not solely focused on marriage and children to have a career (and a life) for herself. \nWith a sharp eye and biting wit\, Koul offers a hilarious\, scathing\, and honest look at modern life. \nScaachi Koul was born and raised in Calgary\, Alberta\, and is a culture writer for BuzzFeed. Her writing has also appeared in The New Yorker\, The Hairpin\, The Globe and Mail\, and Jezebel. She lives in Toronto. \n  \nMack McAllister has a $600 million dollar idea. His mindfulness app\, TakeOff\, is already the hottest thing in tech and he’s about to launch a new and improved version that promises to bring investors running and may turn his brainchild into a $1 billion dollar business–in startup parlance\, an elusive unicorn. \nKatya Pasternack is hungry for a scoop that will drive traffic. An ambitious young journalist at a gossipy tech blog\, Katya knows that she needs more than another PR friendly puff piece to make her the go-to byline for industry news.\nSabrina Choe Blum just wants to stay afloat. The exhausted mother of two and failed creative writer is trying to escape from her credit card debt and an inattentive husband-who also happens to be Katya’s boss-as she rejoins a work force that has gotten younger\, hipper\, and much more computer literate since she’s been away. \nBefore the ink on Mack’s latest round of funding is dry\, an errant text message hints that he may be working a bit too closely for comfort with a young social media manager in his office. When Mack’s bad behavior collides with Katya’s search for a salacious post\, Sabrina gets caught in the middle as TakeOff goes viral for all the wrong reasons. As the fallout from Mack’s scandal engulfs the lower Manhattan office building where all three work\, it’s up to Katya and Sabrina to write the story the men in their lives would prefer remain untold. \nAn assured\, observant debut from the veteran online journalist Doree Shafrir\, Startup is a sharp\, hugely entertaining story of youth\, ambition\, love\, money and technology’s inability to hack human nature. \nDoree Shafrir is a senior culture writer at BuzzFeed News and has written for New York Magazine\, Slate\, The Awl\, Rolling Stone\, Wired and other publications. A former resident of Brooklyn\, she now lives in Los Angeles with her husband Matt Mira\, a comedy writer and podcaster\, and their dog Beau.

SUMMARY:Mark Lukach + Sachi Cunningham
DESCRIPTION:Join Mark Lukach and Sachi Cunningham in conversation about mental health\, family\, and creativity as Mark releases his new book\, My Lovely Wife in the Psych Ward. \nAbout My Lovely Wife in the Psych Ward \nA heart-wrenching\, yet hopeful\, memoir of a young marriage that is redefined by mental illness and affirms the power of love. \nMark and Giulia’s life together began as a storybook romance. They fell in love at eighteen\, married at twenty-four\, and were living their dream life in San Francisco. When Giulia was twenty-seven\, she suffered a terrifying and unexpected psychotic break that landed her in the psych ward for nearly a month. One day she was vibrant and well-adjusted; the next she was delusional and suicidal\, convinced that her loved ones were not safe. \nEventually\, Giulia fully recovered\, and the couple had a son. But\, soon after Jonas was born\, Giulia had another breakdown\, and then a third a few years after that. Pushed to the edge of the abyss\, everything the couple had once taken for granted was upended. \nA story of the fragility of the mind\, and the tenacity of the human spirit\, My Lovely Wife in the Psych Ward is\, above all\, a love story that raises profound questions: How do we care for the people we love? What and who do we live for? Breathtaking in its candor\, radiant with compassion\, and written with dazzling lyricism\, Lukach’s is an intensely personal odyssey through the harrowing years of his wife’s mental illness\, anchored by an abiding devotion to family that will affirm readers’ faith in the power of love.

SUMMARY:YOU’RE GOING TO DIE: Poetry\, Prose & Everything Goes
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 7:30pm\nShow at 8pm\nTickets: http://www.ticketfly.com/event/1478069\n$10 in advance [plus online fees] or $10 at the door.\nIf cost is a concern\, please contact ned@yg2d.com. \nYOU’RE GOING TO DIE: Poetry\, Prose & Everything Goes\nis a total open mic event\, with no set or featured performers\,\nbut only the communal offering for us to explore the conversation of death & dying\, to embrace our losses & mortality\,\nto grieve\, bereave & honor those we’ve lost & love…\nwhile all the while making room for simply being ALIVE. \nSign-ups will be the night of & the list fills up quickly\, so if you want to perform\, you’d better get there early… \nIf you’re going to perform\, keep it under 5 MINUTES. That’s right: 5 MINUTES. WE WILL TIME YOU. And we will hug you when we have to stop you [just to make it easier on you (or harder – depending on your propensity for intimacy)]. \nPoetry\, prose\, music\, dancing\, comedy\, drama\, happy\, sad\, & on & on & on… Remember: EVERYTHING GOES… so do whatever you want. \nYou don’t have to perform anything; the audience is as essential as the performers. \nPlease don’t perform anything with a setup that takes much more time than the time it takes for you to walk onstage. Honestly\, plugging things in is endlessly boring. If you need to borrow an instrument\, figure it out before you’re called to the stage. \nIMPORTANT ::: DON’T TAKE YOURSELF SO SERIOUSLY. Come and have fun. The end. Remember. Someday\, we won’t exist and neither will the English language. If you choose to take yourself seriously\, then take yourself so seriously that it’s stupid. Ridiculousness is encouraged. \nYou’re Going to Die. No. Really. You are.
