Getting Fired, Finding Freedom: Susan Jeremy’s One-Woman Triumph

By the time Susan Jeremy was shown the door for the first time, she was only 16 years old. The job was Arthur Treacher’s Fish and Chips, the manager was named Robert, and the sting of rejection landed hard. “I never forgot it,” Jeremy says. “It was my first job other than babysitting, and I was at such a vulnerable age.” That moment—recreated onstage in her acclaimed one-woman show Robert Will Show You the Door (Tales of Being Fired)—became an early rehearsal for a life steeped in rejection, reinvention, and, ultimately, resilience.
