A Mother….
A mother is the heartbeat
of the essence of a laugh.
A mother holds the future
and knows each moment passed.
She is every child’s savior,
healing miracle of touch.
She is everything they hope for.
She is inner strength and love.
A nitelite in a darkened room.
A smile when you are sad.
A hero when you need her most.
Solemn words when you are bad.
A mother is a child’s love,
and all that they will do
will be the dreams and secret hopes
that can only come from you.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“Barbie Angell Uncensored” is a dazzling fusion
of poetry, comedy and tragedy
ASHEVILLE NC – Poet, playwright and raconteur Barbie Angell performs “Barbie Angell Uncensored: An Unfiltered, Uninhibited and Unapologetic Event” at 8pm Wednesday, March 27, 2024, at LaZoom Bar & Gorilla. The 90-minute show is a melange of works spanning Angell’s career, including her poetry, excerpts from her autobiographical play “Death by Sparkle,” pieces from her children’s book “Roasting Questions,” and rarely performed mature works.
A multitalented, multi-hyphenate personality based in Asheville since 1999, the always colorful Angell is recognized around town for her work as a poet, playwright, columnist, emcee, artist and fashion designer. She has been voted “Best of WNC” poet by Mountain XPress readers for 10 consecutive years, and her skills as an emcee have made her a sought-after host for local festivals and large events such as Planned Parenthood’s Condom Couture and the Reproductive Rights Rally.
Angell has written sketch comedy, co-authored “The Kids Show: Definitely Not for Kids,” and penned one act of “Grimm’s Fairy Tales” for Montford Park Player. She is currently creating and selling upcycled clothing in her own fun and funky signature style – some of which will be available for sale at the event, along with original artwork and prints.
Equal parts stand-up comedy, poetry slam and public confession booth, “Barbie Angell Uncensored” promises to be emotional, unsettling, hilarious, and as unique as Barbie Angell herself!
Tickets are available at BarbieAngell.com for a suggested donation of $20.
