IN THE LOUNGE The Greenhouse Effect: Resurrected Sally Greenhouse
About This Show
Sally Greenhouse, ”The Thinking Person’s Performance Artist” (The Boston Globe), returns to Dixon Place after overcoming paralysis, documenting her miraculous recovery from a broken neck with her signature satirical wit.
In this compelling solo-evening-in-progress, Sally Greenhouse shares three excerpts:
“Bottoms Up” — captivating au courant socio-political satire with a sexy slant.
“Rescued by Ralph Nader”—a hilarious & harrowing cautionary tale of psychiatric chicanery.
“Trauma Becomes You”—an insider’s guide to breaking your neck.
