No Shame Players
eating pizza

[This was the first No Shame Players piece with Jeff Goode and Erin Purcell.]

For some reason we had a pizza. I don't remember if someone brought it in, or if we ordered it special for the piece, but we had a pizza.

The piece was very simple. Erin, Colleen and I, sat in a circle eating the pizza. Upstage of us, Julie Stiner flipped a coin, over and over, while we took turns telling stories.

I believe Erin told a story about wetting herself when she was little.

Colleen, who was an art major at the time, talked about why she wanted to be an artist, substituting the word "truck driver" for "artist".

When my turn came to tell a story, my mouth was full of pizza, and I was facing directly upstage, so my story was garbled and unintelligible.
