Midlife Catharsis

This electric solo musical hurtles from Midwest meltdowns to New York neurosis to Costa Rican shorebreak. Returning home to NYC after six years away, Killy Dwyer blends live looping, alter ego antics, and the humbling task of learning to surf at 50 into a raw, funny, no holds barred exploration of burnout, bravery, and reinvention. With original songs, biting humor, and unexpected tenderness, the show dives into what happens when a woman stops "performing survival" and starts choosing herself. Equal parts comedy, confession, and catharsis, this feral, genre-defying ride asks how we outgrow the personas that once kept us alive and what it takes to begin again.
