I LOOK LIKE AN EGG,
BUT I IDENTIFY AS A COOKIE
Two nights only!
Monday, April 8th • Tuesday, April 9th
8pm at the Ashby Stage • $20
Special guest at Tuesday's show: Tanya Holland, owner/chef of Oakland's Brown Sugar Kitchen!
In this innovative, smash-hit debut, solo performer Heather Gold sifts through the complexities of sexuality and identity with baking’s simple truths. Gold tells her coming-of-age story as she makes chocolate chip cookies with the audience through her own hilarious and moving exploration of the recipe: heterosexuality (DRY), lesbianism (WET), the Left (MIX) and other tasty 1980s tunes and secret ingredients. Gold reveals the coming-out story as a universal coming-of-self story and makes mincemeat of the identities that keep us from our real selves and each other. And yes, everyone gets cookies.
