“400 Miles from Regular" is a one-person show about a woman in mid-life who has decided it’s now or never to become who she truly is. Can she finally summon the courage to stand up to her controlling soon to be ex-husband, her toxically positive sister, and her video-game addicted teenage son. Can she surprise herself and walk away to an uncertain future? "400 Miles from Regular" is the galvanizing story of a woman who steps into the unknown, not out of despair, but out of an exhilarating will to grow and build a better future.

Cannonball is the largest hub of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, championing a revolutionary artist-led model that prioritizes equity, experimentation, and community connection. Now in its sixth year, Cannonball presents more than 100 artists across five stages, representing nearly 30 percent of the overall Philadelphia Fringe Festival. From rebellious circus and delicious dance to fearless theater and activist art, Cannonball pushes the boundaries of live performance while creating a vibrant, artist-centered ecosystem for independent performance makers and adventurous audiences alike.
