Got Milk?

Series: Story Salon Live
From: Joseph Dougherty
Length: 00:02:57

Moira Quirk shares her experiences with mammary malfunctions and melt-downs during breast-feeding. Read the full description.

Salonlogob_small Story Salon regular Moira Quirk gets up close and personal with her breasts and the fluid hi-jinks due to over-lactating. Aspects of Motherhood they don't talk about in Hallmark Cards. Story Salon began in a North Hollywood coffee house in 1996. The rules of the show are simple: Five to seven minutes of original material performed by the writer. This open policy, embracing a sort of "free-range" writing, results in one of the most eclectic hours of performance available. The stories in this series, recorded in front of a live audience, are a sampling of Story Salon's wide range of performers. The result is a unique blend of memoir and observation; sometimes funny, sometimes confessional, often controversial, always unique. Story Salon Live pieces are perfect as free-standing drop-ins or as part of any program focusing on the art of storytelling. Learn more at: www.storysalon.com
