Faith Salie's Approval Junkie， developed in collaboration with Amanda Watkins， made its New York premiere at the Minetta Lane Theatre after original rehearsals were postponed in March 2020。 Emmy-winning comedian Salie， a regular guest on NPR's Wait Wait。。。Don't Tell Me！ and contributor to CBS Sunday Morning on PBS， recorded her one-woman memoir live onstage in the winter of 2021。 Approval Junkie brings her laugh-out-loud， often tender recollections of the turbulent emotional waters of adolescence and adulthood to listeners。 It is a no-holds-barred look into Salie's very relatable journey to self-acceptance， learning that the only person she ever truly needs to impress is herself。
