“Beautiful, funny and fascinating. Joanna Parson is a wonderfully talented and gifted storyteller, who deserves to be seen and heard. Don’t miss A TRANSCRIBER’S TALE.” Dan Ruth, lahiddengems.com https://bit.ly/4blvrfH
Welcome to a bustling transcription office in New York City in 2001, where typists are busy listening to — and typing out — raw interviews for pulpy television shows and other mass media. The ultimate eavesdropper in a storm of sound bites, cliches and media coverage of September 11, Joanna Parson presents a unique musical monologue that shows you what happens when a young woman with a sense of humor and a Guild guitar tries to keep her sanity and heart intact in the center of the news cycle.
