Sept. 22: First Cultural Arts Event of 2011-2012

David Harrell's one-act play: A Little Potato and Hard to Peel

September 22, 2011 - 7 p.m. (Thursday)
David Harrell was born without a right hand. His warm, smart, and engaging autobiographical one-man show, A Little Potato and Hard to Peel, is not so much a show about living with a disability, but about the universal experience of overcoming any obstacle. Using humor, candor, and 80s pop culture references, David shares his heartwarming story. This play has been performed in New York (off-Broadway) and in various theatres around the country. As Martin Denton, from nytheatre.com states, "...letting us walk with him in his shoes during this hour-long show is edifying and illuminating. He excels at sharing, at helping his audience explore and feel some of what he has been through. I think we’re all of us better for that sharing.” Appropriate for all ages. Approximate running time: 60 minutes.
