About this show
What if your gay awakening was Pam from The Office? @Jenna is a one-woman show wrenched from a queer girl’s unedited childhood diaries, as an obsession becomes an accidental roadmap to self-understanding. Second City New York alum Winnie Stack blends home videos, digital artifacts, and raw journal entries into an achingly funny coming-of-age story shaped by longing, performance, and first love. Humour, brutal honesty, and a menagerie of characters collide in an exploration of how we find, lose, and continually re-fashion ourselves in pursuit of desire. Laugh, cringe, and reflect on your own messy path towards self-acceptance.

Stack is an fantastic performer, bringing to life a whole cast of characters from teachers and friends to the voices of her own internal debate, balancing humour with moments of real vulnerability.
