I'll be bringing Gutless & Grateful, my comedic yet poignant musical story about personal triumph over unimaginable odds to the Metropolitan Room on February 5th and March 26th at 7pm. Through interwoven song and dialogue, I share a primal piece of live-storytelling - a powerful message that it's possible to stay hungry for life...even after an exploding stomach. The show also features an original song written for me by Kathie Lee Gifford and David Friedman, after I was featured on NBC's Today Show.
(A date change, due to the second TEDx Talk I will now be delivering on February 25th.)
Since its BroadwayWorld Best Theatre Debut-nominated performance in 2012, I've been touring the show around the country, to theatres, international conferences, and universities, as a mental health and sexual assault prevention arts advocacy program. I'd love for you to catch the show before I take it out West this Spring, and back to 54 Below on June 9th
Gutless & Grateful comes to the Metropolitan Room on 34 W 22nd St, New York, NY 10010, on February 5th and March 26th at 7pm. More information at amyoes.com/metroom or see a press release in a Word Doc.
"One part moving testament to human indomitability, the other a thoroughly satisfying evening of song. While each element is strong enough to stand on its own, combined they illuminate and enhance each other. Rarely have I seen narration and song so artfully meshed, and Oestreicher's likeability, good humor, interpretive skill, and manifest commitment to what she is saying and singing make us not only understand her story, but also feel it on a very deep level."
