Dr. Deep: “Fed Up, or Fulfilled?”
A lecture on Ultimate Liberation Philosophy and living in Essential Beingness.

In his newest lecture, designed to be attended either in person or watched virtually on Zoom, the brilliant Dr. Deep provides unique insights into navigating through life during these unprecedented times. He introduces the basic principles of Ultimate Liberation Philosophy, and reveals the secrets of gaining wisdom, self knowledge, and understanding one’s place in the universe – as well as the hidden power of the humble potato chip.

About Dr. Deep
Dr. Deep is a fictional character, and “Fed Up, or Fulfilled?” is a one-man satirical play written and performed by theater artist Zaraawar Mistry.

Music and Lyrics by David Caldwell
Directed by Gary Davis
Technical Direction by Connor Davis

Our entire cast from the last 2 years has returned! Linda Hayen, Pat Holt, Amy Luedtke, Marie Phillips, Debbie Schneider, Chad Snyder [music director], Stephen Thompson and Megan Gangl [piano]

Holiday stories from the international best-selling author of “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” have been crafted into an engaging evening of storytelling and song. This charming show takes a funny, heartwarming and often poignant look at the struggle to find the spirit of the holidays amid the avalanche of commercialism, stress and chaos that crashes down every December.

Presented by special arrangement with Dramatic Publishing

Director’s notes: “I wanted to present these stories about how folks view this holiday from many perspectives, from a 3-year-old at daycare to someone looking back at three generations of bell ringing. This play also hits Applause’s sweet spot, ensemble acting and telling a meaningful story. Because this play is first and foremost about storytelling. And isn’t that what we have after all these years of celebrating the holidays with friends and family, stories?” – Gary Davis
