Head over HeelsTM
How does a woman learn to trust herself? In this one-woman show
drawn from events in the actress’ own life, Deneen performs
as the character, Izzy, who has no problem risking life and limb
as she snowboards down icy vertical slopes, but resists mightily
her boyfriend's alarmingly dangerous proposal of marriage. Searching
for wisdom and confidence, she revisits bad decisions, shares
both her hilarious and traumatizing encounters with men and seeks
answers in family, friends and self-help books. Deneen is available
to facilitate a Q&A after the performance.

PowerConnectorTM
Connect to your inner superhero! We often forget our inner gifts
and special powers., Organizations tend to focus on helping employees
improve upon their weaknesses rather than release their strengths!
With a visit from PowerConnector, all groups can become energized
and awakened. Using humor and fantasy, PowerConnector reminds
people that they are more than their job descriptions and invites
them to explore what unique, and sometimes hidden, talents they
naturally demonstrate. With the help of teammates, every person
creates a super hero name that reflects the special gifts brought
to any project or experience.

Ilse
Nitzan Holocaust SurvivorTM
How do you have hope in a hopeless world? Examine the gradual
nature of genocide through the chilling story of Ilse Nitzan.
Told through her own words taken from actual letters, Ilse recounts
her six-year experience as a Jewish woman surviving under Nazi
rule. Her journey began with an idyllic childhood in Czechoslovakia
and then turned dark with the Holocaust – from the Theresienstadt
work camp, to the Komorn ghetto, to the death camps of Auschwitz,
Grossrosen, Mauthausen, and finally Bergen Belson. She survived
the Holocaust and went on to live a life full of love and hope.
