It’s been performed in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Harvard University + a dozen other spots and hits the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe in August. amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0"; amzn_assoc_search_bar = "true"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "zxcr-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_title = "From Guests of the Show"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "f8f2941afc01beac7b0a804f20960bae"; amzn_assoc_asins = "1449479677,0982853718,B005FYCGIK,B00TA2IB7I";
