"Now That She's Gone," explores Snortland's wacky and torturous relationship with her Norwegian-American mother. Free admission at the Norwegian Seamen’s Church in New York, August 17.
Ellen Snortland is the author of "Beauty Bites Beast: Awakening the Warrior Within Women and Girls.” She is also a weekly columnist with the Pasadena Weekly and a contributor to Ms. Magazine. She is currently in New York as a representative in a UN conference on the subject on women.
Ms. Snortland has specialized women’s issues, including the movement to achieve gender balance in institutions, women in history, reducing violence against women, as well as childhood and adult sexual harassment problems being exposed in society. Snortland co-founded the first all women theater company in the nation, Theater of Process, which was featured in an early issue of Ms. Magazine. "Now That She's Gone," explores Snortland's wacky and torturous relationship with her Norwegian-American mother, now deceased. Not even remotely a mother bashing piece, "Now That She's Gone" has been described as a Lily Tomlin/Garrison Keilor/Eve Ensler hybrid, passionate, poignant and funny in turns. Free admission.
