Oversharer

Einarson Productions—Son of Warehouse

Kristen Einarson really Knocks it of the Park as she draws the audience into her charming story of life as a late diagnosed ADHD woman and the powerful impact of obtaining a diagnosis and having all the puzzle pieces of her life fall into place. She shares these pieces with her audience, bringing them along on the journey to where she is now…an incredibly gifted, empathetic, funny, vulnerable, kind woman who makes you laugh with her stories- and then suddenly hits home with a moment that brings tears to your eyes.

Her prolific diary entries and photos shine with elements that combine to become “I am Kristen.” Kristen highlights the impact of the “noise” of ADHD-on her life, how people experience her—and the dramatic push- pull of being too much and not enough somehow at the same time. Her comedic timing and structured approach made me learn something, made me laugh, made my heart ache a bit, and oh hell-made me cry. Oversharer was sold out today, on a Monday afternoon, so buy your tickets now, and see this show while you can! Thanks for sharing your story with us!

I don’t have a lot to say here—everything in the program already explains what you’re going to get. My second time around in university, I Majored and wrote my Honours Thesis in Psychology. I knew quite a bit about ADHD already, well before the public was made much more aware of it like it is today. Everything we learned came from textbooks, journal articles, and the DSM (IV back then). Book learning is one thing, but to hear it from someone directly reveals much more.

I learned quite a bit about ADHD today, and I had a lot of fun doing it. Thanks, Kristen Einarson, and thanks for your “bravery” and “vulnerability.”
