SUSAN JEREMY
You may recognize Susan Jeremy from her stand-up comic days in the early 2000s, when she was headlining Olivia Cruises and performing at Pride and women’s festivals. She also spent many summers entertaining in Provincetown. Since then, Jeremy has written and toured five solo shows—including “PS 69” and “Brazil Nuts.” Her latest show, “Teacher in the House,” is partly about surviving cancer and partly about her other career of teaching home-bound chil-dren. “The most rewarding aspect of my teaching job is engaging children to try, no matter what,” she says. “The most rewarding part of performing is transcending and educating audiences through thought-provoking stories told with laughter, lots of it.” Beyond the hilarity, Jeremy’s solo shows deal with strong female characters who inspire and overcome life’s many obstacles. Her next project? “She Was a Great Dad,” about a female-to-male, cross-dressing jazz musician. She’s currently in the midst of writing the new show and plans to have it finished to tour in 2017. We can’t wait! –SLO
