"Gertrude, I'm Calling for a Touch-Up!"
... is verbal and musical, hectic and eclectic, sometimes comical, sometimes contemplative, always compelling... and ENTIRELY interactive.
Dialogue from the show:
"I just returned home from visiting my Aunt Ida in Miami Beach. She had a tumor on her ovary. The tumor was benign. It was the trip that was malignant."
This show is just one of the several that
Loren offers under the structure she calls,
"The Cathedral of the Self."

Loren portrays a wide variety of colorful characters and meaningful moments by reflecting life's funny, serious, bizarre, enlightening complexity.
Why does Loren engage the audience intermittently inside her show?
For the reason of connection:
May the conversational deep dive, the verbal interchange, the great symphony of tongues bring back a sense of aliveness in us all.

Appropriate venues for Loren's show include Black Box Theaters, Cabaret Houses,
Alice's Restaurant and Aunt Betty’s
Cow Barn & Bathhouse.
Intimate, enclosed settings remarkable for their love of deep focus, drama, music and language.
NOTE: For venues who can provide a tuned piano, Loren offers a musical element -- before during and after-- to the show as well!

By embracing her own vulnerability, and by alchemizing situations into language, Loren's literary work has broad emotional appeal and, for many, awakens their soul and touches their heart.
She has taken her message from the page to the stage, performing in theaters, cabarets and improvs across the country. Loren has taught Writing Composition and Critical Thinking at the university level for 25 years.

"Eccentric, crazy, one of a kind.”
“All that was missing from your performance was Broadway.”
"You have what others want-- spirit! Life! You're alive! You make others feel alive!
That is your marketing genius!"
“The density, the imagery,
how tight it is, and the wit - wow!”
“The absolute mouth-gaping, shocking
horror... and it’s funny!”

Sometimes comical,
sometimes contemplative, always compelling.
Dialogue from Loren's show,
"The Standup Thinker"
"I order the donut because I want it,
then eat it quickly to get it out of my sight...
so I don’t eat it."
