In January, I was asked by my good friend Patti West if I wanted to be a part of the Seattle Solo Performance Festival. I said, "sure"-- and then thought about what new material I wanted to create. Since the death of my father March 2009, I had been wanting to write about sharing his last 2 months on earth. It was a profound experience, and affected me deeply. So... I wrote about my dad. I started writing, and the words just came pouring out of me. The result is a one-woman show, "Demonstrate the Place Of My Abode." It's a salute to my funny father, the music he inspired, and a window into his experience with Death With Dignity. Writing and performing this show has been utterly cathartic for me. I don't know what the future holds for this story, but I'm glad I took it on. It has moved me, inspired me, and changed me. Thanks, Dad.
