Join us for a night of storytelling, as Mara Wilson presents Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame. Mara Wilson earned her fame as a child starring in Mrs. Doubtfire and Matilda. She grew up to be a twitter superstar, an incisive live storyteller, and a person who struggles openly with mental illness in the public sphere. Containing stories about her mother’s death from cancer, to her relationship with Robin Williams, to dating misadventures, this essay collection is brave and sincere, poignant and funny, and always relatable. It will almost certainly teach you a thing or two about fame, feelings, and yourself.
