Performing autobiographical monolog, Dona Budd is a mix of William Faulkner, the school smartass, and a voraciously curious toddler, with a smattering of Mae West. She finds the world infinitely delicious, her curiosity is blind to convention, and she never saw a rule she didn't want to break. Her performance unfolds a hard-hitting, funny, and untold version of a strange white child growing up in an incomprehensible pre-civil-rights South. With startling combinations, she looks as boldly at the dark side as at the delights-the taste of crayons, a segregated children's matinee. Dona takes you places you've never been.
Writer Dona Budd was raised in North Carolina when it was still the post-Civil-War South. She chose to go to Vassar College because it appeared in a Li'l Abner comic strip. After years of trying not to be a writer/performer, she gave up. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
