I Am No Young Lady

Created and Performed by

The Lovely And Talented Miss Toni Silver
Directed by Joseph Shahadi

  is about growing up different, going crazy, and getting older.
The Lovely And Talented Miss Toni Silver reboots her hit show, SHAME LIPS, performing her true life adventures while exploding such myths as self improvement and aging gracefully. Fresh from sold-out performances in Europe, Miss Toni—“The best tap-dancing, middle-aged, Jewish, gay performance artist in America™”— cracks open the space between the way life is supposed to be and how it actually is, grappling with the conundrum of how to stop getting older without dying young.
It’s a comedy.
