LJ – “If you don’t want to miss rock star librarian Nancy Pearl in any of her various media formats—book, radio show, television—there’s a new one to track: “Terrible Things.” This dance theater performance based on the life of Pearl’s daughter features “a T-R-I-P inside the many lives of Katie Pearl [right] and her action-figure literary mom,” complemented by dancers, Jiu Jitsu wrestlers, and 1000 marshmallows.”
