Under a summer sky, lit by the full moon, join producer and performer, Trish Nelson in a vow: “I am here tonight to pledge my support to my fellow sisters.” And then the storytelling begins! Nelson, who has put together live shows and tours across the country for Key & Peele, Broad City, Amy Schumer, and many others, brings her West Coast sensation, The Secret Society of the Sisterhood to Brooklyn. The theme of the evening is: “So…That Happened.” Prepare yourself for true tales that are sincerely heartfelt and often hilarious!
In Agatha French’s L.A.TImes article “The Secret Society of the Sisterhood is in Session”She documented the first meeting of the Secret Society of the Sisterhood the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever. The first topic was appropriately enough, “Reclaiming My Time.”
Trish Nelson invited the full audience to join hands.
“I am here tonight to pledge my support to my fellow sisters,” she said, and the crowd repeated her oath.
“I am also not a doormat,” Nelson proceeded with the oath, “so if Steve from marketing and distribution claims my ideas as my own one more time…”
Proceeds from all shows are donated to various female-centric charitable organizations. The May 29th, 2018 meeting’s proceeds will go to Girls Write Now.
They wear cloaks and they carry candles, but there are no spells or potions. They create magic with words by telling stories.” – Los Angeles Magazine
