A castle is the ultimate “expectation vs. reality” meme. Lindy grew up dreaming of magic beyond everyday life, but reality has a way of grinding the fantasy out of you. Pets and parents die, dreams get downsized, and it turns out castles aren’t magical at all—they’re just wet, stinking military installations. Outrageous! New York Times best-selling author Lindy West takes audiences on a hilarious, bittersweet journey from hope to disillusionment, and back again.

Run time: One hour. A reception will follow the April 10 performance, and a Q&A with Lindy West will follow the 2 p.m. performance on April 11. See website for details.
