How to Survive a Poison Apple

 
I am an eating disorder survivor. I think this is the first time I've ever actually said that in print. Even when I've said it in person, I've always qualified it. "Oh, it wasn't THAT bad...I mean, I was okay..."
But you know what? It WAS bad. BUT, it wasn't all my fault...
I am an eating disorder survivor. But I think I've almost survived that "Poison Apple"...at least I've learned to manage that "Poison Apple" by going into the wilderness...

I've been working on "How to Survive a Poison Apple" for almost 5 years. I produced and performed it in Portland, Oregon in 2012 and I am now set to present it at two Fringe festivals (Santa Cruz and Vancouver, B.C.) this summer! I'll also be doing independent showings in Albuquerque, Salt Lake City, Oakland and Sebastopol (and maybe Portland). More showings will follow in fall 2014 in Berkeley and beyond. 

I envision touring the show to high schools, colleges, girls' and women's groups, churches and more. I want to perform the show wherever I can and encourage discussion about gender expectations, eating disorders and addictions among women, men, girls, boys and families.
