Mom, You Are Embarrassing Me!

Inspired by the Cringe Night series founded in Brooklyn, “Dear Diary…” is a night devoted to the mortifying moments of adolescence—a live reading of real diary entries by local writers and performers.

Each show features four to six readers who bring their bad teenage poetry, self-indulgent manifestos, inane ramblings and tales of awkward, unrequited love to the stage for a 10-15 minute reading.
