Shownotes Transcript

Improviser, improv coach, and "ensemble whisperer" Liz Allen discusses her one-person show Tonight, I Am My Mother, her darkly comic exploration of her mother’s alcoholism, in which Liz plays multiple roles (seamlessly). Liz talks about moments of discovery in her childhood; reveals her script's inspiration; shares stories of working with comedian Mike Birbiglia on his film, Don't Think Twice; marvels over her show's Shakespearean levels; confesses the importance of taking creative license; and celebrates the rewards of bringing a complicated family member back to life. (Length 24:39)
