Penny has been a photographer, children’s show producer, assignment editor, advertising producer/director, actor, stand-up comedian, and competition chili cook. Penny’s a storyteller, whose tales of growing up as a deeply-closeted transgender woman, and then learning to live her authentic life have made audiences laugh and cry in places as far west as Minneapolis, as far south as Richmond, VA, as far east as Washington, DC, and as far north as … well, that would be Minneapolis again. Penny has written and performed three shows, two TEDx talks, and a sermon, because she will never refuse stage time.
