Broken Wide Open @ West of Lenin (Seattle – Fremont)

A musical story about ruptured hearts, getting home and the healing power of Irish Tea, including 10 songs, live music and a funny and true story about healing.

Broken Wide Open is a solo theatre show featuring Shana Pennington-Baird telling her story about surviving an aortic dissection while traveling alone in Ireland. This hour-long musical story includes 10 songs and 40 minutes of comedic and dramatic narrative, including a 3-person Celtic band (Robertson Witmer, Dave Pascal, and Greg Fulton). This poignant and hysterical show takes the audience through the harrowing and terrifying experience of almost dying alone and what it took to get back home to Seattle.

Following this exciting tale, stick around for the music of Dreós (Thurs-Sat) or the Half-Time Brothers (Sun) and celebrate live music and the power of instant friendships overseas.
