Have a question that you need answered? Leave it to the Doctor.

Join Dr. Bitter’s studio audience for another taping of ‘The ‘R’ Word,’ a live talk show that answers your relationship questions! During commercial breaks various relationship scenarios are played out between all too familiar relationship experiences from adolescence to adulthood.

This is a solo show infused with a live band, spoken word, comedy, and audience interaction. This new work questions the patterns of toxic relationships, journeying through pregnancy, abortion, sexual liberation, single motherhood, and more.

Half n Half focuses on experiences of Black characters as they navigate the world, but of course the stories will have resonance with all audiences. Writer/performer Natasha Adiayana Morris is and engaging and compelling performer, inhabiting many characters with clarity and economy.  

Piece of Mine presents:

The last of three performances, Aug. 13, 9 pm.

Running time: 60 minutes
