Hey y'all,
A ten-minute solo performance piece I wrote about a year-ish ago is hittin' the road this month! I'm performing the piece at a fundraiser in Austin tomorrow, and then at a festival New York, and then at a conference in San Antonio, near the end of this month. I'm so excited!
If you have a moment, please spread the word!
Details are below.
Thanks so much for your support,
Natalie
