Vanessa Woolf is a professional storyteller- but back in the 1990s she did a very different job. 
Peek behind the scenes of iconic movies, be uplifted and illuminated! Vanessa's story is strange, unique, funny, its got Alec Baldwin in it...and it's all true!
Doors: 6.30 for 7pm start.

audience comments:

“has such EPIC resonances for working women, and community and creativity and women’s self perception across our lifespans…. And it was funny and fun and sad and questioning –everything as an audience you wish for.” – JC 

“so magnificent – we were so with you, through every hue of emotion – we were laughing, whooping, crying, afraid…The show also had a kind of epic quality to it – at points like we were hearing about a character from mythology, as if your experiences spoke for many of us and told a story about many of us.” -JM 

“blown away with the story content.... I was so inspired and impressed by your journey, determination and resilience.” – TC

    Vanessa presented personal stories full of interesting tidbits about the film industry, life in the 90s, and breaking into a traditionally men’s field of work. The stories are woven together into a whole that grabbed and kept my attention throughout.
