Celebrating her first book in over a decade, Lena Dunham returns to the stage for a night of fearless storytelling and no holds barred conversation. A candid, funny, and bracingly honest reflection on illness, fame, sex, and everything in between, Famesick marks a bold return from the award-winning creator of Girls and Too Much. So pull on your pajamas and join us for a night that brings together all the best parts of a slumber party—just not the thing where you call your parents crying because you want to go home. We’ll get nostalgic for the 2010s and frank about anxiety and ambition, and go deep about what it actually means to author your own story. We can’t wait to see you there to celebrate Famesick.
