Monica Bauer, Home

There's no place like home, and once again, there's no Odyssey show quite like the Home show. In October 2015, playwright and performer Monica Bauer explained that for her, not only were there other places like home, but there were, in fact, other places significantly preferable to home, and that as a teenager, she was willing to lie, cheat, and play the xylophone to find them. From Monica's Odyssey bio: Monica Bauer has produced full-length plays Off Broadway, Off-Off Broadway, regionally, and internationally at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the Brighton (England) Fringe Festival. Monica was the 2005 Teaching Fellow in the Graduate Playwriting Program at Boston University, where she received an MA in playwriting. Her full length play about race, "My Occasion of Sin," was part of the 2014 season of the Detroit Repertory Theater. Her play for one actor, "Made for Each Other" has been in continuous production since 2009. Plays published by Brooklyn Press and Heuer.

This episode was performed and recorded in front of a live audience at The Screening Room in Tucson, AZ, on October 1st, 2015, and was curated by Jen Nowicki Clark.
