Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity for a very special evening with award-winning actress Iris Bahr (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Hacks, Friends and More) as she performs her one-woman show Stories from the Brink: My Festive Near Death Adventures

Winner of the Montreal Fringe Fest Frankie Award, Stories from the Brink is a wild, touching and hilariously poignant journey through Ms. Bahr’s near death adventures, from her fragmented childhood in the Bronx to her time in Israel, Asia, South America and back to Tel Aviv and how taking care of her mother with dementia and where on October 7th things come full circle. It is a true tale of adventure, escape, thrills, terrors, and evolution through perpetual movement.

As always, Bahr masterfully combines humor, pathos, and masterful storytelling to take the audience on a journey that is funny, heartbreaking, and life-affirming all at once.

“Bahr has more voices at her command than a symphony as strings.” Variety

The evening is a beautiful way to reflect on October 7 and to contemplate October 8.
