Ziemann plays seven different characters, all based on her life. Ziemann is the author of “Giving Voice to Your Cause”, and a 2011 International Book Awards winner for social change. Critics call her show entertaining, authentic, funny, emotional and poignant. A synopsis from Ziemann’s work: ‘A farmer’s daughter reluctantly enters a Dairy Princess Contest while secretly wanting to be at an Alice Cooper Concert. Her life spirals downward when she meets a New York fitness junkie and moves with him to Indonesia. Wanting breathing space, she goes back to her Minnesota farm only to find the land filled with genetically modified seed. Magically, a gnome shows up and hints how she has been modified too. It’s one woman’s 50-year journey as she searches for and finds her voice. This show begs the question Can you tell the truth while living a lie?’
