'Terrible, Thanks for Asking' LIVE
Setup
The question is commonplace, the answer routine. Just about every day, someone will ask, “How are you?” And your rote response is almost sure to be, “Fine, thanks” — even if you’re totally dying inside. Not on this show. In a live performance, "Terrible, Thanks for Asking" takes just the opposite tack as Nora McInerny asks real people to share their complicated and honest feelings — sometimes sad, sometimes funny, often both at once. This spectacular, multimedia theatrical event features McInerny’s signature storytelling and bold visuals as it brings the audience on an emotional journey that celebrates human connection. Nora also reads from her new book, No Happy Endings, and signs copies.
