Where to From Here
What if you could meet all the people you could have been?
She's on the trip of a lifetime: middle-aged, menopausal and forgotten to buy her ticket. Sitting in the station cafeteria drinking over-brewed tea and eating stale croissants, a stranger asks her, 'Do I know you?' This simple question will change the course of her life forever.
The art of storytelling depends on two things Tracy Crisp has nailed: entertainment and believability
About the show
After writing I Made an Adult it seemed like a natural progression to write about the experience of middle age. I'm especially interested in the duality of these years. While these years are often overflowing with big responsibilities and upheavals, at the same time we are beginning to feel we might, kind of, possibly know what's going on.
This story is about the reckoning that happens to so many of us. The process of looking back at what we have (and haven't) done and making peace with our choices. At the same time, having spent so much time in previous shows looking back, I was keen to try a new perspective--looking forward. So I put myself at this point of connection between these two perspectives.
Much of this show is about facing life's disappointments, so it was important to me that this would be a light-hearted piece. Life is complex, but there's always a laugh to be found.

Enhanced program notes for people who are blind or have low vision
My shows have a high audio content. In addition, I am a relatively static performer, there are no costume changes, and my sets are simple. So if you are blind or have low vision, you might find that my shows have good accessibility.
I'm an independent artist with a tiny budget, so I can't generally afford to have an audio describer at each show. However, I have done audio description training and have developed enhanced program and pre-show notes for all my shows. These notes provide contextual information you will hear at the performance.
The enhanced program notes are available in several formats including: in written on my website here form audio format on my soundcloud page; and in large print format at the venue.
The program that is given to all audience members when they arrive at the performance is also available in several formats including: in written format at the end of the enhanced program notes; in audio format on my soundcloud page; and in large print format at the venue.
The Enhanced Program Notes provide added context for people who are blind or have low vision.
