AnCan and The Marsh (well renown, long-established theater company with a large following in the Bay Area and venues in San Francisco and Oakland) collaborate every 4th Wednesday of the month for Solo Arts Heal!
I had the absolute pleasure of filling in for Rick, and interviewing July’s gust Suzie Campbell!
Suzie is a single mom living in Evanston, IL with her two children and a cat named Magic. A Loyola University Chicago alum with a degree in Sociology and Women’s Studies, she now works as an IT manager for a non-profit company. She started telling stories about her life after her hysterectomy at 35 years old and has been seen at storytelling shows such as Story Colliders, Is this a thing? and Filet of Solo. Suzie shares stories that often show that reproductive journeys are not always linear, sexuality is not always straightforward, and that seeking support for mental health treatment – especially in relation to motherhood – isn’t something shameful. She believes if more people talk about these ideas openly, the stigma around them will decrease over time.
Suzie performed “Get F***ed,” a story about sexuality, dating, and her hysterectomy as a newly single mom in her mid-30s.
