In Excuse My French... Literally!, Amandine shares her unapologetically French take on life across America
— from Paris to Pennsylvania and every culture clash in between. With humor, heart, and a spark of defiance,
she recounts the hilarious and heartfelt misadventures of building a new life in a language and a world - not her
own.
From accidentally offending strangers with her honesty to losing (and ultimately reclaiming) her voice through
love, loss, and resilience, Amandine reminds us that language is only the beginning of the journey.
Whether you're a language lover, a fellow outsider, or just someone who’s ever struggled to fit in, this one-
woman show invites you to laugh, reflect, and remember: your true self is always worth holding onto.
