Jennifer Leggio// On the Couch Where I Bottomed Out

Sobriety is a serious choice, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for laughter. In this act, Jennifer Leggio shares why she chose sobriety, how she used humor to get through the tough spots, and how she achieved it very much in the same physical space where she hit bottom — her living room couch.

Jameer Pond// Good Grief

GOOD GRIEF! I might laugh and/or cry in this bitch! Either way, it should be some entertaining stories to be told!

Charlotte Brown// Title TBD

Julie McNamara// A “Confessional” of a Recovering Catholic – The Musical

Having been raised Catholic, I have been in “recovery” for a LONG TIME: all those prayers you didn’t actually understand, those many times in that scary confessional, and the constant guilt! I better still be apologizing! (Fear not- I am!) How does a good Catholic girl navigate sex, abortion, career, eating disorders, or… actually talking about feelings? Complete with music- only Mass-appropriate hymns, of course, with NONE of the lyrics changed at all- this show will really get you questioning what’s in those Hail Marys…
