Hannah Pilkes Presents: Skiing…That Time I Had a Mental Breakdown

Now at Union Hall, *Hannah Pilkes Presents: Skiing…That Time I Had a Mental Breakdown* is a comedy built from a personal rupture and the story Pilkes pulls out of it. Pilkes, known for screen roles including Robin in *The Woodsman* and Josie on *Leanne*, brings a TV-and-drama sense of structure to a live set that moves between narration and character. It plays like a case study in how a public persona gets rebuilt in real time. No specific NYC premiere history is widely documented, but the piece fits a Brooklyn tradition of confessional comedy used as reportage.
