​Sometimes your story is literally all you have.
Greta is a clinical psychologist who has not quite adjusted to
the isolation of homelessness. Navigating the gloomy streets
of Baltimore, she and her companion Olga, a stuffed penguin
who can talk, learn that telling your story is not so easy
when you are on the streets. Challenging assumptions and
telling the truth becomes the task of these two.

Featuring:
Greta – Saffron Henke
Olga – Dina Hackley-Hunt
Daryl – Robert Asencio
Officer Brice – Kevin McAlexander
Woman – Amy Levin

Stage Directions – Christopher Gaumond

"Saffron is a rare talent. She knows what she is doing on stage and because of that I could relax and enjoy our scenes together. She has such a bright energy and she uses her intelligence in everything she attempts. She has tackled many kinds of roles and she is very fun to watch."  - Lucinda Hitchcock Cone, Actor
