LA-based former ingenue Wendy Shapero is now “just-a-Jew” from Detroit who’s hit her homeless bottom. In one last heart-achingly hilarious attempt to soar again, she flies herself to a weekend retreat of ultimate self-discovery with the master thereof, one Tony Robbins. Accosted by far-too-young ingenues and oddly wise apparitions, Wendy winds her way through the corridors of the Dallas convention center to find 8000 other hopeful penitents. Can one woman’s finely honed fragility match the bigger-than-life gusto of the worlds most famous fire-walking motivational evangelist? You bet your low self-worth she can! Come for the laughs and maybe a few tears, in this tight one-hour-and-change “retreat” from your average Tuesday night with Wendy Shapero of Disney, Adult Swim, and indie-movie fame, as she returns to the stage in this triumphant one-woman show!
