“Discover the Untold Struggles and Triumphs of a Woman in a Man’s World: A Deep Dive into Lynn Lobban’s Memoir”
This is all heartbreaking and sobering stuff, yet Lobban’s voice is generous, open, and often very funny. She shares her great challenges with equal compassion, and she shares her joys too. Lobban writes about finding great freedom in dance, in acting, in being on stage. Unlike her mother, she would let nothing stop her from following her dreams. She worked hard, studied her craft, and landed a role on Broadway in the Tony-nominated musical Quilters. She also earned an MFA in playwriting and began to write her own plays. The structure of her memoir reflects this background, as the sections of the book have titles such as “Sneak Preview.” “Incitement,” and “Climax.” Within the sections, are sub-headings, such as “Zoom Shot,” “Call Sheet,” and “Trailer,” an interesting craft choice that adds an unique element to the text.
