SHOWS

Shopping

Shopping as a Spiritual Path

A high-spirited, heart-gripping romp through disease, divorce and disfigured dating, Shopping as a Spiritual Path has played to packed houses and standing ovations from Berkeley to Boca Raton. Terri takes us on her harrowing and wildly funny search for cures, bargains and inner peace, and leaves us with a new, joyful slant on life “as is.”

 

Teri and David Roche

Geriatric Erotica
with David Roche

Terri and David join forces in a dynamic interaction that showcases the impact of cancer, communism, catholicism, apnea, aging and alcoholism on human desire.

Terri and Annan

An Inconvenient Tumor
with Annan Patterson


"An Inconvenient Tumor," written and performed by Annan Patterson and Terri Tate, takes a fresh look at climate change. A compelling combination of entertainment and education, the show explores the parallels between the impact of cancer on a person and of global warming on the planet. Audience members will come away with concrete examples of ways they can contribute to energy and water conservation, resource management and the creation of sustainable communities. Using humor and storytelling, the show stresses the importance of maintaining hope and of working together as we each do our part. It inspires the will to thrive as individuals, as a global community and as tenants on this precious planet!
