Magic of Grandmas is a one-woman show written and created by Danielle Anderson, of the folk music sensation Danielle Ate the Sandwich. The show pokes fun at being raised in the Midwest, multigenerational relationships, society's treatment of the elderly, love, death, and...OUTERSPACE!? Take a peek inside of your nana's purse and join a lonely grandma on an epic adventure through space and time. Heartfelt, hilarious, and hitting too close to home, Magic of Grandmas is a one woman show featuring multiple characters, original songs and videos, audience participation and improvisation. Magic of Grandmas debuted at KC Fringe in July 2026, and was the winner of BEST OF VENUE at KC Fringe 2026, and the DALENE BRADFORD PRIZE FOR INNOVATIVE THEATER at KC Fringe 2026.
Featuring original songs by Danielle Ate the Sandwich and video by Forest Kinsey.
