Hosts Lyssa Mandel & Phil Casale
WHAT: In this interview-style live talk show, host Lyssa Mandel & Phil Casale invite guests to present poignant/painful creations from their adolescence on stage (poetry, drawings, songs, sketches, videos…Wicca boxes…) and follows with engaging questions that cut to the heart of how all our teenage pain is the same. And it’s funny. Think of it as Judy Blume meets Dr. Phil. Raucous laughter and redemption ensue. It’s grown-up show-and-tell for the child-at-heart in us all.
WHEN: Saturday, May 7th at 7:00pm
WHERE: NerdMelt LA Showroom – 7522 W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles
