a play by Jodie Lynne McClintock
Six women over 50 come together at the invitation of a seventh with a secret to share over a 2-for-1 drink brunch at an Irish pub in Queens on July 21, 2024. Is it alcohol or a sense of shared sisterhood that leads them all to reveal the cost of surviving to seniority?

Hot Angry Moms – “Kidnapping Grandma”
a dark comedy inspired by the Emmy-winning webseries Hot Angry Mom

The only thing more dysfunctional than their family is their plan: an Emmy-winning filmmaker’s plea for collective healing devolves into a mockumentary-style heist, forcing her and her estranged evangelical sister to lead a chaotic mission to “rescue” the family matriarch.
