AIF - Double Bill: Ask Leonora/ A Bard's Tale

  • Covert Theatre 51 Mackelvie Street Auckland, Auckland, 1021 New Zealand (map)

In "Ask Leonora," Liz Garfinkle performs as Dr. Leonora Areola, MSW, DDS, answering audience members' burning personal questions with improvised original songs, creating an unscripted musical advice column. It's Dear Abby meets Savage Love meets Whose Line Is It Anyway?


"Ask Leonora" debuted at the Musical Improv Showcase at Stagewerx Theatre in San Francisco in 2019, and has been performed at several other California venues, including All Out Comedy Theatre, PianoFight, and the Alameda PorchFest, and it was regularly live-streamed during the Pandemic.

Cast: Liz Garfinkle
