Baggage at the Door Dana Aber
About This Show
Dana Aber’s Baggage at the Door is a wry peek inside the head of a seemingly well-adjusted trauma-queen— it is one woman’s struggle to get through the terrors of her past and reclaim tenderness. Hailed as ‘deeply moving’ with ‘infectious original songs,’ Baggage at the Door is a ‘disarmingly charming’ look at healing from trauma. Incorporating video games, humor, and projections of original art, this quirky and candid 1-gal musical explores her attempts to break the PTSD trauma cycle and find courage to unpack her baggage and claim a better life.
