8 Stops by Deb Margolin
OBIE Award winner Deb Margolin's thought-provoking new solo work is a comedy concerning the grief of endless compassion! It’s about death, the private lives of animals, the suburbs, the spiritual exurbs, illness, desire, and a subway ride with a motherless child who Deb realizes she has only 8 stops to raise! Isn’t that all the time we ever really have…8 Stops?
April 16-22, 2015 by special arrangement with the Cherry Lane Theater.

Developed as part of writing residency with celebrated poet and performance artist Dael Orlandersmith at the Kimmel Center, this rousing world-premiere work will leave you with classical questions about the nature of compassion and the limits, and the limitlessness, of human endurance.
“Alternatingly funny and poignant…she elevates this commonplace tale to the level of heroism.”
-- Philadelphia Inquirer
“Deb Margolin makes us laugh about how hard life can be. It shouldn’t be funny, and yet, when we see the world through her eyes — …we are willing to admit that maybe there is something to laugh about.
It is impossible to keep your distance.”
--Broad Street Review -- Philadelphia
