Did you worry about stabbing your father in his sleep after watching the film MINORITY REPORT with Tom Cruise? Ever been afraid to impregnate your own mother with bathtub water?? Were you scared to use the word ‘delectable’ in a sentence after JonBenet Ramsey said it the night before she was murdered in the JonBenet Ramsey Lifetime Original Movie?
I’m gonna be real — if so, you might have OCD. Like me! Hi, I’m Olivia Levine and I suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. We’ve all heard about the classic stuff– the hand washing, the touching, the counting. But most of us haven’t heard about other ways it can manifest. Like worrying about accidentally causing violent harm to a loved one, the fear that using a particular word might result in the death of your best friend. Killing people with your vagina germs! The list goes on! UNSTUCK uses standup and storytelling to explore the comedy, the tragedy and the beauty of a very misunderstood and under-represented disorder.

For one whole show, once the music starts it won’t stop. And once the drama begins, it won’t end. High stakes, betrayal, lost love, hidden identities, people with masks on one side of their face. All of this you can expect in Dramatique!
