THE STORY OF MY LIFE

DEC. 2-18

Nominated for four 2009 Drama Desk Awards, including Outstanding Musical, The Story of My Life is a Broadway rarity: an intimate musical that candidly explores the simplicity of human need and the complexity of emotions under which it lies buried. Told through a series of songs – in turn playful, touching and dramatic, The Story of My Life inspires us to reconnect with those who were part of the earliest chapters of our own life stories.
