Show Description
Abbey is on a quest to become the ultimate businessman. She just has to change a few things about herself, but how hard can it be? Now, on the brink of achieving everything she’s dreamed of, the facade she’s spent a decade constructing starts to fracture. Instead of enjoying the rewards of her hard work, Abbey is forced to confront her deepest fears and the insecurities she has tried to bury beneath her business suit. With her trademark wry humor, Abbey explores what happens when we lose ourselves to the whims of a society fueled by individualism, competition, and a pervasive feeling of never-enough-ness.
Artist Biography
Abbey Glover, Writer and Performer
Abbey Glover is a San Francisco-based writer and performer whose work explores themes of self-expression and vulnerability with wry insight that “wouldn’t be out of place in either a Greta Gerwig film or a Peanuts comic strip” (The Scotsman). Her first solo show Abbey’s Box premiered at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, earning multiple 4- and 5-star reviews from publications such as The Scotsman and Broadway World.

Piece Description – The Complete Artist
The Complete Artist offers a moving and thought-provoking experience that will leave you listening differently—not only to music, but to yourself. Acclaimed musician and multidisciplinary artist Bethany Zare invites audiences into the hidden conversation between the Inner Critic and the Muse. From the pursuit of perfection on the concert stage to an unexpected healing through painting, Bethany reveals how creativity can become a path toward wholeness rather than achievement.
