I AM A ZEBRA: A Curiously Entertaining Story of Illness

Join Ingrid Masterton, creator and performer of I AM A ZEBRA, on her journey of trials met with humor, pain muted by joy, and the absurd kind of amusement that only the world of medicine could provide. Have fun with her as she tries to discover how she'll next use her peculiar identity to do the reinvention that illness demands. 

This program has been the vision of GSU physical therapy professor Dr. Robbie O’Shea, who says, “Ingrid masterfully presents a world of conflict and decision making. Occasionally, we as health providers and future health providers find ourselves as patients and recipients of healthcare. It can be uncomfortable and confusing when we, as health care recipients, are not aligned with those charged with our personal health care and systems work against us. This wonderful show brings these conflicts into the open and creates a meaningful and poignant dialogue using humor and fact.”  

This free performance, directed by Anne Marie Scheffler, will take place November 15 at 4:30 p.m. in Sherman Hall. I AM A ZEBRA is presented by the GSU physical therapy program and supported by the Intellectual Life Committee.
