PLAYWRIGHT & PERFORMER:
MARILYN AVIENT

Marilyn is 30 years old (twice!) and living in Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island. Drawing from various stints as a daughter, sister, mother, spouse, lab tech, award winning Avon lady, and so much more - this certifiably-nuts-people-pleasing-but-it's-all-about-me woman is now an author and public speaker.

Dirty Laundry is the true story of Marilyn's life with mental illness.  She has authored five books and has been providing keynotes and workshops for much of the past decade. After a chaotic lifetime of trying to "get it right", Marilyn is now enjoying life with her husband, John, and their two darling puppies.

Join Marilyn on her truly remarkable journey to recovering her mental health!
