“Getting old sucks” declares 85 year old sociologist Dr. Lillian Rubin, telling her truths about aging and sharing some wisdom she’s earned along the way. If this sounds like a real downer –it’s not, even though
she’s posing unanswerable questions like, “What does it mean to live toooooo long?” “What’s a good death?” “What does living in the meantime mean?”
Somewhere between the images of a little ol’ lady eating cat food in her SRO waiting for god to take her home and the little old woman who climbs Mt. Everest with her 25 year old boy toy lover and then jets off to Sweden to pick her Nobel peace prize, Dr. Rubin addresses the facts and fallacies with unusual candor, and humor.
And jazz great Barbara Morrison bring us “Howlin’ Blues and Dirty Dogs” –- about the life of brassy, pistol packin’, gin-swilling, cross-dressing, 300 pound Big Mama Thornton and her immense, world class talent for wailin, growlin’ and shoutin’ the blues. She’s performing at the Stella Adler Theatre at 6773 Hollywood Blvd., in Hollywood. For info: call (310) 462-1439 or contact her at barbaramorrison.com
