The Book of Liz
By David Sedaris
Amy Sedaris
Directed By Sydney Parks

Sometimes a woman has to grab life by the balls. Cheese balls.

Sister Elizabeth Donderstock is Squeamish, has been her whole life. She makes cheese balls (traditional and smoky) that sustain the existence of her entire religious community, Clusterhaven. However, she feels unappreciated among her Squeamish brethren and decides to try her luck in the outside world. Along the way, she meets a wacky cast of characters and grapples with her personal sweating problem. Meanwhile, back at Clusterhaven, Liz's compatriots just can't seem to duplicate her cheese ball recipe, and it's going to cost them their quaint, cloistered lifestyle. Haled as the freshest satirists working today, the brilliant Talent Family of David and Amy Sedaris provides fuel for an endless stream of witty and wonderful laughs.

"…[a] delightfully off-key, off-color hymn." -New York Times.

"…hilarious…" -Village Voice.

"…acidic laughs…linguistic delight…" -Variety

"…laugh-out-loud funny…" -Broadway.com
