The Artichoke Presents | Maggie Crane Side By Side

  • Howland Cultural Center 477 Main Street Beacon, NY, 12508 United States (map)

Can you ever be as cool as your older brother? Not when he has a purple sparkly wheelchair and everyone’s attention.

Set during the early 2000s in the crunchy-granola-meets-redneck-woods of Western Massachusetts, Maggie Crane’s darkly funny solo show is an autobiographical account of growing up amidst disability, death, and Dunkin Donuts. To ground the show in preteen angst and vulnerability, Maggie uses pop punk and her lifelong obsession with the worst band of all time, Panic at the Disco.

Side by Side is part solo show, part stand-up special about comedian Maggie's relationship with her older brother Aiden. Aiden was blind, in a wheelchair, and developmentally disabled, but this never stopped the wild jealousy, sibling rivalry, and unique bond between the two siblings.

Hosted by Jamie Mulligan. Tickets in the link below.
