Speaker: Actor/Comedian John Morello
DIRT
Actor/Comedian John Morello considers himself a survivor of a high risk childhood. Having spent most of his life watching friends and family become victims of destructive decisions he responded by writing the one man show "Dirt" . Not a lecture or seminar, "Dirt" is a play of many characters all performed by one actor. With 15 years of stage experience Morello comically and effortlessly slips in and out of the characters to tell a story which is compelling, unique, and yet unfortunately the story of far too many of our young people. Audiences are sure to see someone they know or can relate to and it is this cathartic recognition that has been connecting with people across the country.
As the characters speak honestly about their experiences the audience understands how seemingly disconnected lives are indeed tied together and influencing each-other. In the end "Dirt" addresses the core reasons for substance abuse such as self esteem, depression, and a desire to find a purpose in this often chaotic life.
