​

Altar EGO is a one-woman powerhouse show brimming with signature wit, humor and zest for life that features original songs and clever new lyrics to standards, tongue-in-cheek humor and audaciously delicious verve as Cantor Patti Linsky shares her story of how she went through a near-death experience and came out on the other side transformed.

When a customary outpatient medical procedure in 2009 went awry that required a second operation to save her life, Linsky discovered she lost her abdominal strength, a necessary component to support her voice. Linsky’s 24-year career as a Cantor had come to an abrupt end. Two years of rest and recuperation forced Patti to re-evaluate her life - "If I am not a Cantor, then who am I?" The numerous years of self-medicating comfort from her addiction to painkillers and alcohol, guilt, judgment and self-recrimination fell upon her like a ton of bricks.

Altar EGO inspires as Linsky traces her physical, emotional, mental and spiritual transformation through her 21-year, poignant journey that included a car accident in 1996 that began a painkiller road, followed by an addiction/ breakdown in rehab 2007, and later abdominal surgery in 2009 which almost took her life. Linsky’s mission now is to share her remarkable story with others through Altar EGO so that they may begin to walk a path to their own authenticity, devoid of shame and humiliation.
