Synopsis:
From Fandango: The Nation's Leading Moviegoer Destination
Lily Tomlin’s successful one-woman performance piece features classic characters, including Agnus Angst, Lud, and Marie. One of the repeating themes of the show is the advice of Trudy, the bag lady, who offers her services to help non-Earth aliens understand what they are seeing on this planet. All the skits tie together under the general theme of making fun of high-toned New Age rhetoric, a system of beliefs that proves inadequate to address the fundamental woes of everyday life.
