Your next storyteller is Lucy Roucis. Lucy passed away this week, after a decades-long battle with Parkinson’s disease. Lucy might be best known by a broader audience for her appearance in the film Love & Other Drugs, but in Denver she’s been a force on and off stage for years, a wickedly funny and talented actor and comedian who will be deeply missed. Lucy told a couple of stories at The Narrators, but today we’re sharing her first—this story was recorded at Buntport Theater in November 2017; the theme of the night was “Under Your Skin.”
