Washington offers a one-woman show about an extraordinary childhood.



Book Synopsis



'From 1969 until 1973 my family lived on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. At 444 Amsterdam Avenue in an apartment on the top floor inside the St. Agnes Branch of the New York Public Library: my father George, my mother Connie; my grandmother, my dog Brownie, and me. A typical American family. Living in a not-so-typical place. Whenever I talk about it people's eyes widen, "It's like a fairytale: The Little Girl Who Lived in the Library! You HAVE to tell that story! So here I am. Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived in a library...'



Review Quotes




"The play does what every good story should - it captures the mind, inspires imagination, and transports the audience to a place that seems too magical to be real (yet it was!)." --Broadway World

"Acting, mimicking, presenting, or narrating, Washington is always a figure to watch...with a fine actor's capacity for transformation and a born storyteller's knack for casting a magical haze over even the most everyday events." --The Village Voice

"At its most affecting, it's a memoir of Ms. Washington's parents' perseverance and muted pain in a culture warped by racism." --The New York Times
