When a rockstar crashes the backstage party at a Shakespeare Festival, a young actor is set on a path of self-reckoning.

When a rockstar crashes the backstage party at a Shakespeare Festival, a young actor is set on a path of self-reckoning. That is the story of Rebecca Auerbach’s harrowing and hilarious solo stage show Discount Dave (and the Fix), which is now being reimagined as a narrative podcast for CBC’s Personally. Rebecca Auerbach is an award-winning actor, writer, and musician whose work dances between melody and mischief. Come see her transition from stage to headphones as she performs an act from the show and then discusses its audio version with fellow stage performer and podcast host Falen Johnson (The Secret Life of Canada, See You in Court). A blend of memoir and auto-fiction, Discount Dave (and The Fix) is a propulsive examination of addiction, identity, and the fight to heal.
