Ever feel like the universe has it in for you? Join two-time Moth StorySlam Champion Smita Russell as she weaves a tale of unimaginable coincidence and loss. This poignant production examines why we turn to science for answers in our darkest times and how we persist when dealt a bad hand. Join us for a night where humor meets heartache, and discover why sometimes the most profound truths are the ones we can’t quantify.
Written and Performed by Smita Russell
Directed by Jacqueline Loewen
What audiences have said:
Literally the most emotionally connected and affected I’ve ever been with respect to any story told in any format. The audience can really experience the emotional energy poured forth in its performance, and it’s so strong that it seems unsustainable.
It was like having a conversation with a close friend – a friend you thought you knew well, turns out you never really did, and you’re going to leave the conversation even closer.
Your story has a Dolly Parton-esque element to it where any side would find something to relate to in the themes around doctor care, your autonomy, perseverance, motherhood, chivalry, and marriage.
Odds Are is a Magnum Opus! During that same visit to NYC, I saw Hell’s Kitchen, Hamilton, and Illinoise. For me, Odds Are produced the most profound emotional and intellectual impact of all the shows I saw.
