Debuting at this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe at Bedlam Theatre, Gooder than Gold, is a true-life story about a prodigal daughter of Appalachia who lost it all and found what matters, while keeping time with the songs in her head.

Tressa Preston, self-professed crime-tv expert wants to confess to you, and ideally, a television homicide detective, while singing a little and talking about angels. Come for the fiddle music. Stay for the gut spilling. This former people pleasing boss bitch hoots and hollers and figures things out in this not-exactly-a-memorial-service of a show about the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If she can even figure out what that is. 

Want an up-close look at a gal using lessons she never wanted to learn to blow up her whole freaking life? This is the show to see. Perfect for folks who have been lost and found in the big love of those closest to them and the secrets they didn’t know they were keeping.  This deeply personal new work, written with the specific goal of being performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, craves an audience that has a soft spot for irreverent humour and deep introspection. The setting is both a sanctuary and a crime scene. There's a revelation here, behind a two-way mirror and under stained glass, if you're looking for a little redemption of your own. Can she get a witness? 

Perfect for fans of the work of writer/performers Michaela Coel, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Hannah Gadsby, the latest and greatest from an artist featured in the New York Times Critics’ Pick show Inanimate, NYC theatre veteran Tressa Preston’s Gooder than Gold is a world premier cussin’ and cryin’ live action memoir with music that encourages wailing in Wal-Mart, laughing at funerals, and finally choosing yourself, for heaven’s sake.
