About It’s Fine, I’m Fine
A one-woman show written and performed by Stephanie Everett and nurtured at Northern Stage, It’s Fine, I’m Fine follows Steph as she comes to grips with a new normal after four career-ending concussions as a varsity soccer player at Dartmouth. Funny, heartbreaking, and human, It’s Fine, I’m Fine advocates for compassion in the face of all of our invisible struggles. This play was a fan favorite in 2018’s New Works Now and won the Best Festival Debut at New York’s United Solo Festival in 2019.
Recommended for ages 12 and up for references to alcohol abuse, eating disorders, self-harm, suicide, sexuality, and drug use.

"On its surface, this is a play about one young woman's struggle with concussions and its ramifications. But at a deeper level, it's a play with room for all of us who have struggled to find meaning, direction, love."
