Under the Overalls: Stories of a Dresser Unraveled/Miracle Grown-Up
This piece is based on my experience as a performer working backstage as a dresser for various Broadway shows. I came to New York City 9 years ago to be an actor/dancer/singer (much to my parents chagrin) and ended up putting costumes on actors, both famous and not, to pay the bills. This story is about what I've encountered and how it has changed my life. This is my survival job. This is my reality.
Kelly Buttermore was born three months early, on a road trip, a thousand miles from home. Since then, things have been anything but normal. Through personal monologues and conversations with her grandfather who isn't afraid to tell it like it is, she traces her unusual path towards adulthood--from fighting for her life in an incubator to four years at an all-women's college, to living in New York and trying to make sense of the coed world--all the while knowing that the fact she got a chance to grow up at all is, well, a miracle. Equally poignant and funny, this is a show not to be missed!
