Michiganderish
When Ganey and her partner find a little place to get away from it all and relax in the Great Lakes State, they find themselves wrestling with chipmunks, chainsaws, and everything they hadn't considered - including the difference between visiting a place and what it means to belong to it. A show about FIPs and other invasive species, doing what we can in the face of hopeless odds, and staying in relationship with everything we can't fix.
Also, it is very funny.
Michiganderish grew out of Julie’s residency as the 2024 Creative Fellow at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts, and has enjoyed performances in all over Michigan and in Chicago, including the South Haven Theatre Series, Fillet of Solo, and Steppenwolf Theatre.
