A memory is simply a moment that we have entered into, unbeknownst to us, that would never be forgotten. We accumulate grand and trivial memories throughout our life and on November 26th Janelle Lawrence is going to take you on a journey of the moments that have become our memories. Songs ranging from "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive" by Johnny Mercer, "Cry Me a River" by Arthur Hamilton, "Someone Woke Up" by Richard Rogers, and "Losing My Mind" by Stephen Sondheim guide you through moments of first love, new sights, painful relationships, and new discoveries. Join Janelle Lawrence at The Metropolitan room from 4:00pm-5:00pm on November 26th
Tickets start at $22 with a two drink minimum

In My Box Episode 1

axiety lullaby

Janelle is an interdisciplinary artist who specializes in highlighting the complexity and layers of our lives. They use every tool: music, soundscaping, dialogue, poetry, conversation, body, movement, etc., to present and occasionally replicate the parts of us that are unique, special, and still shared. They have had their musicals, plays, and performance art presented in various theater's; The Kennedy Center, Legoland New York, Joe’s Pub, Seattle Public Theater, and National Black Theatre  - but they no longer want that to define their artistic depth and experience. They have been crafting stories, examining (people), and attempting to dis/uncover how we grow together their whole life; storytelling is what they do.
