A FAMILY AFFAIR: Mike Daisey and Special Guests Tell Stories Of Family And Its Discontents

Theatre Off Jackson
Seattle, WA

A Benefit for Seattle's Solo Performance Festival, featuring:

Mike Daisey, Troy Mink, Allen Johnson, Suzanne Morrison, Mark Boeker, and special guest MARY DAISEY, who will tell her side of the story for the first time on stage, correcting the MANY ERRORS her brother has CONSPIRED TO SPREAD about their family.

Mike Daisey hosts and headlines a benefit for Seattle's Solo Performance festival. Entitled A FAMILY AFFAIR, Mike will tell stories of families and their wonderful, terrifying and infuriating power, joined by some of his favorite solo performers in the Seattle community: the legendary Troy Mink (THE HAINT), powerhouse Allen Johnson (ANOTHER YOU), the mercurial Suzanne Morrison (YOGA BITCH), and the delightful Mark Boeker (HELL SONGS FROM THE FLOATING WORLD). At the conclusion of the performance Mike Daisey's sister Mary Daisey will perform a rebuttal to Mike's story, revealing for the first time the true story that lives right under the surface--the one only your family knows.

MIKE DAISEY has been called "the master storyteller" and "one of the finest solo performers of his generation" by the New York Times for his many monologues, which include Invincible Summer, Monopoly!, TRUTH, The Ugly American, I Miss the Cold War, Great Men of Genius, Wasting Your Breath and 21 Dog Years, and over the past decade he has performed his unique brand of extemporaneous storytelling at venues such as the Public Theater, American Repertory Theatre, the Spoleto Festival, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, the Cherry Lane, Yale Rep, the Noorderzon Festival, Portland Center Stage, Intiman, Performance Space 122, and many more.
