Overview

Oscar-winner Christine Lahti, known for her stunning acting work in films like Running On Empty and Housekeeping, returns to The Wallis to share stories that draw deeply from her personal and professional experiences. A gifted writer and storyteller, Ms. Lahti recounts five personal instances over the course of the evening, including a time where she was told that to obtain acting work she would have to engage in sexual relations with a director, or a heart-rendering story about navigating the downward spiral of her mentally ill younger sister. Like the tales of Anne Lamott and Spalding Gray, Ms. Lahti’s stories are funny, bittersweet and very human.
