Clothing Optional
Written and Performed by Amy Segal
Directed by Adam Lesser
New York, New York, USA
A buttoned-up Wall Street executive heads to a writing workshop at Esalen, a crunchy granola retreat center in northern California with clothing-optional hot tubs, and is cracked wide open. After re-discovering her quirky side, she returns to New York with a newfound abandon.
About the Artist
Amy Segal works in finance by day but by night finds herself drawn to storytelling shows on the Lower East Side. Last fall, she won $200 in one-dollar bills at a One Up! storytelling competition and started wondering how many more wins she’d need before she can quit her job. She is a regular at MothSlams, has studied with Seth Barrish at The Barrow Group in New York and one day hopes to introduce herself at cocktail parties as a writer.
