Net Worth

by Bari Hochwald

Available for tours internationally or nationally (with subtitles in Italian)

"An American Bridget Jones ten years on."
Three Weeks, Edinburgh Fringe Festival

"This funny piece achieved where many other one woman shows fail. Bari Hochwald's charisma, cracking professionalism and ability to play her neuroses to the max made for an enjoyable evening."   Syracuse Post Standard

"Net Worth is an original, engaging show performed with bags of energy and a dry, sly wit.  Hochwald is impossible to dislike.  A hit."
EdinburghGuide.com

Net Worth takes the audience on a journey of humor, money management and self-reflection as they attend a workshop on personal finances sponsored by the Lions Club of Cleveland, OH.  Moving quickly back and forth between teaching in the present and reliving the memories that each subject evokes, our character finds the strength to declare independence from her "Liabilities" and understand the values of her "Assets."  Based on the life experiences and struggles of balancing finances with living an artistic life, Bari has created a one-person show that brings laughter (and fear!) to the audience.  A layered production, Net Worth is also an homage to the spirit of a grandfather never met, and to whom Bari turns for guidance and, ultimately, freedom from a legacy which no longer serves her dreams and which never served his.

Be careful.... you may reflect upon your own relationship with money while enjoying the journey of discovering a true "Net Worth."

(Ms. Hochwald is a published author and has taught workshops on the subject of personal finances to young adults and artists and can combine this production with a session dealing with these basic issues.)
