Based on Hamlet's “To be or not to be,” playwright Lauren Gunderson notes that Natural Shocks is a 60-minute, one-woman tour-de-force play that bursts to life when we meet a woman waiting out an imminent tornado in her basement. Angela, our fast-talking heroine, overflows with quirks, stories, and a final secret that puts the reality of guns in America in your very lap. The play is part confessional, part stand up, and part reckoning.

Performed by Equity actress and Greenhouse Theater Project Artistic Director Elizabeth Braaten Palmieri; Photography by Kristen Thackery.
