Allana Harkin Re-Release and Something To Look Forward To!
Little did Allana and I know when we recorded this episode two and half years ago, that this summer, she would directing and dramaturging my new solo show – Something To Look Forward To – running right now at the Toronto Fringe.
The irony of this is that Something to Look Forward To tells the behind-the-scenes story of how Happy Funny Amazing — this very podcast — came to be and how making it helped me deal with some heavy grief after losing two of my brothers. The show celebrates of the power of storytelling and the importance of art – while also being relatable funny and honest.
I’ve had some great reviews and audience responses so far — and that means the world to me.
"...prepare to have your life changed. Because with Something To Look Forward To, your life will be changed." - Slotkin Letter
"...the writer’s sense of detail and her questing spirit are moving...Above all, she has a great rapport with the audience. Since she performs in the round, there’s nowhere to hide — a fitting metaphor for the show’s honesty." - Glenn Sumi, Toronto Star.
"...Joanne O’Sullivan tells this hilarious and harrowing story with such timing (bravo to her and director Allana Harkin), pacing, nuance and conviction that she has us all sitting forward at what will come next" - Slotkin Letter
