3GT presents a staged reading 

…Reflections on growing up, throwing up, and getting up in years.
read & written by Margery Kreitman

Dramaturgy and Direction by Jayne Wenger

Margery Kreitman reads and performs three semi-autobiographical pieces:

Don Larsen and Me, 1956: a story told by a lonely Bronx born nine year old with a vivid imagination and a fierce desire to pitch in the World Series.

Payday in Pukalani:  A couple blissfully vacationing on Maui are swept up in the frenzy of a tsunami warning, testing their relationship and taking them on a roller coaster of a ride.

Siri Needs a Hearing Aid:  In this comic monologue,  Margery copes with her new diagnosis of Tinnitus and explores the challenges of living with the daily chirping of crickets in her head.
