Beth Rickey: A PowerPoint Presentation

Comedy · max kerwien · Ages 18+ · United States of America

one person show world premiere

Crohn’s Disease. It’s an illness that not many people are familiar with. Fortunately for the general population, Max Kerwien has created a helpful PowerPoint Presentation about the history of people with Crohn’s and how the disability affected their lives and accomplishments. One small note: Max does not know how to use PowerPoint. This may impact the show in several ways, such as: vivid and unnecessary Word Art, airbrushed pictures of Ryan Gosling, unsettling stock images of multicultural friends, and possibly even advertisements for subscription boxes. Come ready to laugh, learn about disability history, and probably file an ethics complaint after watching Max try and hit “next slide”.
