I Am No Young Lady
Synopsis:
I Am No Young Lady is about growing up different, going crazy, and getting older. the Lovely And Talented Miss Toni Silver reboots her hit show, Shame Lips, performing her true life adventures while exploding such myths as self improvement and aging gracefully. Fresh from sold-out performances in Europe, Miss Toni-"the best tap-dancing, middle-aged, Jewish, gay performance artist in America"-cracks open the space between the way life is supposed to be and how it actually is, grappling with the conundrum of how to stop getting older without dying young. It's a comedy.

Shame Lips
Synopsis:
On the occasion of her mid-life meltdown, the Lovely And Talented Miss Toni Silver performs adventures from her life, as a ploy to stave off death. She tells tales both comic and tragic-Her stint in the nuthouse! Coming out to her parents in a McDonald's parking lot! Working as Lauren Bacall's personal assistant!-and a few that fall somewhere in between. Miss Toni-the best middle-aged, gay, Jewish, tap-dancing, feminist performance artist in America-splits the seams between humiliation and triumph, challenging myths about how life is supposed to be lived while wrestling with the illusion of permanence.
