Tucson, AZ---Monica Bauer’s life affirming solo show, “Happy Accidents: True Stories from a Ridiculous Life,” comes to the Invisible Theatre for one performance only, Sunday, October 25th at 2:00pm. Playwright and performer Monica Bauer’s performance is a benefit for Invisible Theatre’s 55 for 55 Fund, raising $55,000 by December 31st!
The show is like hanging out with your best friend at a late-night diner, hearing stories she’s never shared before because no one would believe them. At intermission, audience members will be able to share their own “happy accidents” by posting a note on the “Happy Accidents Bulletin Board.”
What’s a “happy accident”? According to the writer, a “happy accident” is a moment when your life’s changed for the better because of something you never could have predicted. Bauer’s show begins when she’s seven years old and is about to be hit by a car. To find out how that’s a “happy accident,” you’ll have to come to the show. Tickets and information at invisibletheatre.com or by calling 520-882-9721.
