Robert Will Show You the Door (Tales of Being Fired)

Join us during WOMEN’S WEEK in Provincetown!

Robert Will Show You the Door (Tales of Being Fired) is an uproarious and heart-rending coming-of-age memoir. In this 60-minute one-woman show Jeremy portrays 15 characters reliving the painful experience of getting fired from nearly every job she ever had. From a roller-skating cigarette seller—to an usher at Radio City Music Hall—to a substitute teacher the protagonist gets the boot—she is ‘shown the door!’ The audience rides the emotional wave of Jeremy’s humiliation simultaneously laughing at the absurd reasons given for the job firings. After Susan loses her job working as a clown at a kid’s party she realizes “There is nowhere to go but stand-up comedy.” But ultimately Susan gives up her dream; she steps away from the world of show business. It is only then she discovers her self-worth.

Susan is a long-standing Provincetown performer (Crown & Anchor Post Office Cafe & Cabaret Art House and Vixen) who recently retired from the New York City public school system. She is back on the road doing what she loves best—playwriting acting and making audiences laugh!
