Davis has candidly written and performed about her own struggles with depression, religion, and addiction. – Davis’ 2006 show “Goddess” and 2005 show “The All You Can Eat Spiritual Buffet” were big hits at the Spiritual Fringe. This year Holly moves back to the main festival with a play about seeking and repelling the connections life offers us. “Diary” is certain to take fellow retreat participants on a journey filled with laugher, pathos, and hysterical show tunes.
