A True Story
(that I just made up
(with a little help from my conscience))

A writer is trying to simply make up a story from her youth. Well, okay, not exactly from her youth. And that’s where the writer’s problems start. Her Conscience won’t let her alone. It seems that when a “goody two-shoes, ‘fraidy-cat” tries to pretend she was something else in her youth, the old truth-telling guilt still, decades later, won’t relent. The war between fantasy and conscience-driven real history leads to a fun telling of what is, well, a true story… that she just made up.


STORY by Laurel Winter
MUSIC by Michael Flohr and Nadia Tarnawasky
