How to Poop in an Outhouse at -72°F (-58°C)

Written and Performed by Kona Morris
Directed by Padraic Lillis

Following critical acclaim at Edinburgh Fringe and New York City Fringe, winning multiple awards, including Audience Choice and Staff Choice, five-star reviews, and selling out theaters in Edinburgh, Los Angeles, and New York City, Kona Morris (The Moth, PBS’s Stories From the Stage, RISK!) tells the true story of falling in love with a member of the Gwich’in tribe of Alaska and moving to a remote village north of the Arctic Circle, where she lived off the road system without running water or electric heating.

Exhilarating, hilarious, heart-warming storytelling that will transport you to the top of the world! Grizzly bears, whirlpools, northern lights, and the transformation that happens when you take chances and embrace the unknown. And yes, you will learn all the tips needed for using an outhouse in subzero weather. You might just learn a few other things, too...

"Morris achieves levels of total immersion storytelling."
—Get Your Coats On (Edinburgh Fringe, 2026)

"Transplendent! A mesmerizing feast of adventure, community, wonder, and laughs!"
—Cara Lopez Lee, Award-winning Author, Journalist, and Storyteller (Los Angeles, 2026)

"We are in the palm of her hands from the moment she opens her mouth. I had a smile on my face the entire time."
—TonyLovesTheFringe (Edinburgh Fringe, 2026)

“In a piece filled with extremes, of temperature, distance, and life-altering decisions, Morris finds balance between humor and heart.”
—Theatre Beyond Broadway (New York City Fringe, 2026)

"It is like listening to an audiobook of an Alaskan explorer. Extremely heart-warming!"
—Entertainment Now (Edinburgh Fringe, 2026)

"The outhouse is really the gateway to a much bigger story about love, adventure, growing up, community, and finding your place in an environment where almost everything familiar has been stripped away."
—Edinburgh Fringe Radio (Edinburgh Fringe, 2026)
