Me, Myself, and Other is a sharp, funny, and unexpectedly moving solo performance about identity, disability, and the messy middle between who you were told to be and who you actually are.

A first-gen American grappling with the feeling of being “othered” throughout her life is forced to confront and embrace her true identity after a life-altering diagnosis. Humorous, heartfelt, and unflinchingly honest, this show takes one on a timely and poignant journey through cultural contradictions, societal expectations, and the resilience it takes to rewrite your own narrative.

The B-sides are a local band based out of Ojai California consisting of four lifelong long childhood friends. Beckett McDowell (Vocals), Cosmo Penny (bass guitar), Dylan Petrucci (drums), and Lucca Kun (Guitar) have been playing music with each other since they were 12 years old. With influences from the Beatles to Frank Sinatra, from Al Green to Green Day and everywhere in between, these friends have created a unique sound that blends traditional music with a modern twist! Be sure to see them because they will take you on a music journey of original material that will open new horizons and push genres!
