... Lynne Duddy
Singlehandedly!, Portland Story Theater's New Solo Works Festival, is the forum where Lynne presented "Éist! Is Éireannach mé! (Listen! I'm Irish!)," a true story of the serendipitous windings of fate that brought the love child of one father under the protection of another.
Lynne's solo show, "There's No Place Like Home" premiered at Portland Story Theater's Singlehandedly 2010 New Solo Works Festival and then the NSN's LA Fringe Festival. She also performed an excerpt of this piece at the National Story Slam in Chicago.
Her one-woman show, "dark matter," premiered at the first Portland Story Theater Solo Festival before sold-out audiences. Read Inara Verzemnieks' review in The Oregonian. If you would like to order a copy of this audio CD, go to CD Baby and buy it there!
