Normaler Than Everyone

Normaler Than Everyone

2nd Stage Theatre
6500 Santa Monica Blvd. Los Angeles

When award-winning singer-songwriter and photographer Brian Joseph got the news that his wife had a rare and serious kind of cancer, he was stricken with the paralyzing fear that any husband and father would feel. But as an artist, his reaction was anything but normal. Normaler Than Everyone unearths both the pain and the humor of a loved one going through cancer. The show addresses small moments — making soup, lying to friends on social media, parenting — and large moments too: calling 911, bedside vigilance, medical treatment. Through his songs, writings and photographs, Joseph presents a funny and moving portrait of a cancer caregiver, enraged by soup and terrified by the specter of ghosts which is ultimately a meditation on love and mortality.
