Hi! This is a quick reminder that I’ll be performing my one-woman show, Hand, Foot, Hand this Sunday at 3:30 at Trap Door Theatre, 1655 W. Cortland, Chicago. Proceeds will go to the NFB of Illinois. Originally two performances were scheduled, but due to the Super Bowl and other issues, the 7:30 performance has been canceled. Please join me for the Sunday matinee, where you can explore the stage beforehand and have a discussion afterwards. Thanks for your support! Below is the notice from Trap Door.

What is it like to enter a brand-new school in eighth grade when you’re the first blind student they’ve ever enrolled? Imagine attending your first party as a college student, or setting out to look for your first job when most employers blanch at the thought of hiring a blind applicant. Author and performer Deborah Kent takes us on a journey that begins in a small New Jersey town, moves on to a college campus in the turbulent Sixties, explores the streets of New York’s Lower East Side, and carries us to a community of writers in central Mexico. Laced with wry humor, this is a story about searching for footholds in a world that is not always welcoming and discovering handholds in the most unexpected places.

Hand, Foot, Hand was developed at Chicago Dramatists with the generous support of the Access Fellowship program and premiered at Lifeline Theatre’s 2024 Fillet of Solo Festival.
