Solo Show I'M JUST KIDNEYING Comes to Frigid Fringe Festival
by A.A. Cristi - Jan 26, 2019
Does the singular act of donating a kidney make you a hero? Amanda has a certificate dedicated to her heroism but she's uncomfortable with that label. On the other hand!

I'm Just Kidneying takes a whimsical look into the process of living kidney donation and pokes holes into the idea of what it takes to be "hero material."
