Making A Show of Myself is unique piece of theatre with roots in Seanchas (the Irish tradition of live storytelling.) In it, Mary Kate shows how stories save our sanity and sustain our spirits. She demonstrates how storytelling defines the shared values of tribes and binds together families, friend groups and the whole human race. She makes her case while illustrating it with six of her own captivating true-life stories that have made her a Grand Slam Champion Storyteller here and in America.
This is pure distilled theatre, shot through with a specific sensibility grounded in positivity and profound empathy. Mary Kate takes the audience on a journey in which they can see themselves. From her opening sentence, the audience knows they are in the hands of a virtuoso storyteller.
