Blue Collar Diaries

Growing up in St. Paul’s blue-collar neighborhoods in the 1960s wasn’t easy. As a kid Michelle Myers Berg had to deal with rivalrous siblings, wacky neighbors, strict nuns, and the mysterious silence from her Korean War veteran father.

In this brilliant one-woman show which premiered in the 2008 Minnesota Fringe Festival, Michelle embodies 20 different characters as she recreates the people and places from her childhood in a funny, poignant and candid tribute to the simple things that make us who we are.
