September's features:
THE QUIET ENVIRONMENTALIST is a spoken word and storytelling piece about mothers' relationships with their daughters who have eating disorders. Both writers contributed their own personal stories about their own experiences, culminating in the comedic and heartbreaking work.
Created by Carolyn Moon and SJ Valiquette. Runner up for Best Storytelling/Spoken Word at 2016's Victoria Fringe. [TW: eating disorders]
