Bio
FRINGE FESTIVALS: First time producer of "Marie Cooney & Guests" in the 2019 Minnesota Fringe with 17 guests telling stories about Living with Disabilities, LGBTQA+, Theater & Drama, Four Footed Furry Friends, and Music & Spoken Word over five different nights. During the pandemic, I started making videos of me telling various stories in my pajamas at my home and then editing them with i-Movies for Macs. My first two full hour virtual solo performances of "Pajama Stories for Adults" and "Pajama Stories for Children" were available during the 2021 Denver Fringe and 2021 MN Fringe. Each of these hour long shows is available for viewing. upon request, with a modest payment to PayPal.me/MarieCooneyStories, depending on the size of audience. Various "Pajama Stories" went live and improvised depending on the audience at the 2022 International BorderLight Fringe in Cleveland, Ohio and then at the 2022 Minnesota Fringe. I would love the opportunity to travel for a Pajama Stories party!
