Joel Kogel’s “Life and Depth” comes to New Orleansfor all ASORN membersto enjoy. His performanceis a whimsical and stirring riff on being alive, a collection of very funny stories about very scary things...love, death, and mediocrity. The Los Angeles Times called him “a mixture of clown, sage,fool and teddy bear.” He is a master storyteller, using his own life asgrist for the theatrical mill and creating in membersof his audiencethe irresistibleurge to reflect on their own lives. Joel Kogel is a national award-winning writer who saw his life skip out of the ordinary in 1981, when at 25 yearsof agehe learnedhe had cancer. However,he is quick to point out that the “problem” is not cancerbut how one faces “problems.” Joel Kogel has toured nationally since 1984 and made numerous appearancesin the mediaincluding NPR,NBC, and CNN. Don’t miss Joel Kogel...speakerand writer, husband, father, son, and sibling.
