IT’S JUST MY LIFE , conceived and directed by Kathleen Rubin, is a collection of true, personally written and shared stories, chronicling profound and poignant moments that this group of women has faced in their lives. What may seem extraordinary and overwhelming to some, just becomes part of the fabric of each life.

This performance of IT’S JUST MY LIFE will be a celebration honoring Elziabeth Rubin, who has shared her story with audiences for the last 7 years. Liz, in telling her story, has been such an integral part of IT’S JUST MY LIFE. So much so, that when she made the decision to relocate to South Carolina, we knew a “Farewell” performance was in order, celebrating Liz’s contribution to the show and honoring the incredible impact she has had on all of the participants of IJML and every audience member who has been lucky enough to see her share her story.

We all have many stories to tell, but what makes IT’S JUST MY LIFE so unique, is each participant’s willingness to open up their lives, not to be judged, but to share, from the heart, defining moments that have, for them, changed everything. No one does this better than Liz. So please join us for this special celebration honoring Elizabeth Rubin and hearing her story one last time.
