One woman's journey to overcome the impact of sexism, patriarchy and mental health challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic to build a more authentic life.
There are moments in life
There are moments in life that stop us in our tracks, demand our attention, and cause us to question everything we've known; moments that change the entire trajectory of our lives. Set during the COVID-19 pandemic, My Year of Saying No explores impacts of the mental health crisis, sexism, and society’s rigid expectations through the use of multimedia and multiple characters such as Patriarchy, Perfection, Zoom, Janice’s Body and COVID herself.
Building a path back
This serio-comedy tracks one woman’s journey to confront all that isn’t working in the world, and in her life, to build a path back to herself.
“I am amazed, inspired, intimidated, and in awe! Brava!! This was the most honest and profound thing I have ever seen performed and you did it with such grace. And bravery! I'm sorry for your pain, I am thrilled for your clarity, and I am grateful for your lesson. Much love!”
“Saw your show last night. It was very powerful and your performance flawless. It struck a real chord with me. I resigned from work and my last day was Monday. Certainly in a re-evaluating mode now.”
“Janice, your show was fabulous! You shared so much of your personal struggles. Beautifully written and expressed. I saw a lot of myself in your story. Not just the nurse part. I'm 71 and still trying to figure some things out for myself, especially saying 'no'! Love you and bravo! Put up a sticky note congratulating yourself!”
