WALK WITH ME (Solo Show)

About

What do you get when you have to learn to walk again at 13, and have a wheelchair named Leonardo DiCaprio? A true story, and solo show, Walk With Me. The show, written & performed by Gould, is auto-biographical, chronicling her journey of growing up with a mild form of cerebral palsy, having to learn to walk again, and becoming an actor. She hopes to bring awareness to audiences of differently-abled actors, all while using her unique sense of humor.

The show originally premiered in 2016 at the 4th Annual SoloCom Festival at the Peoples Improv Theater.

It had a successful run in 2017 at the Peoples Improv Theater and was taken to Boston where it was performed for a Ground Rounds presentation at Boston Medical Center.
