Synopsis
God’s Giggle is a one-woman show about a gifted filmmaker whose life is derailed by a traumatic brain injury. A heartbreaking, hilarious committee of brain cells that take over her decision-making in the name of protection. As Shoshanna Gleich turns down dream opportunities from Marvel Comics, DC Comics and the music industry, her life unravels, bouncing through 61 homes in nine years, not including couches, car seats and sand strips.
Blending humor, imagination and heart, God’s Giggle follows Shoshanna’s journey fromthe edge of despair to creative rebirth, as her characters — including her alter ego SUPERFIRE WOMAN — help her rediscover self-love, resilience and an unshakable optimism about the present moment.
