Baggage at the Door new musical 2024 extension
when falling in love triggers her lurking PTSD, she might be f*#&ed.
About
Baggage at the Door is preparing for an encore of its successful production run at AMT Theater in Times Square. We're packing up to travel!
Don't let Dana do it alone - grab your shiniest rhinestones (& a weighted blanket if you like) to help Dana and the AMT production team launch the show off-Broadway.
Be a light in the darkness & add your sparkle to Baggage at the Door's journey to stage.
Any amount can make a difference. If you think you’re too small to make an impact, try going to sleep with a mosquito around!
What's the show about?
Baggage at the Door is one woman’s struggle to find balance amid circular anxiety patterns, intrusive thoughts & triggers, and to learn anew how to value her capacity for love after traumatic events (sheesh—who can't relate to that?).

All that in a one-person show?!
Yes, AND! Baggage at the Door is based on Dana's real life, theatricalized for this production under the direction of Bway's Joe Langworth (Ragtime, Follies).
4 consecutive Januarys with 4 near-death experiences...um, Happy New Year? This January, the scorched survivor’s barricades are breached and protective layers peeled away as she navigates the precarious terrors of falling in love. In Baggage at the Door, that bright-eyed city girl is unmasked as a poster child for high-functioning PTSD. If she can’t connect, she may miss out on a future she longs for. Navigating internal dumpster fires on a spare stage richly textured with immersive sound & animated projections, she tap-dances eating cheese, sings her conflicted identifies, swaddles herself with protective rhinestones, & enlists the audience’s guidance on a witty, honest, and gripping journey to break the trauma cycle and find the courage to finally unpack.
Dana and 'Team Baggage' believe that theatre exists to educate, to expand emotional awareness, and to build community.
Baggage at the Door's production will support for Fountain House, an NYC charity organization that directly supports New Yorkers who may be suffering with silent monsters. As Dana's PTSD can attest, asking for help is the hardest thing to do—receiving it is a game-changer.
