COMEDY
4 WOMEN (DOUBLING)
This sparkling and raucous new comedy offers delicious, fast-paced tales about—and starring—strong and sassy females. Women who are intelligent, eccentric, mysterious, baffling, bullheaded and brilliant. As this tapestry of short plays unfolds, you’ll meet Vivacia, a Southern social media star, whose singular quest is to elevate the mediocre standard of American funeral foods. Drop into a year-round Christmas shop where the overworked proprietress slowly unravels as she attempts to train a new crew of seasonal-hire “elves” for the holiday tsunami.
Spend an afternoon with theatre royalty in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. There you’ll witness three theatre legends vie for “best friend” status as they compete for the white-hot heat of the spotlight in the hospital room of their lifelong colleague…and rival. And these are just a few of the unforgettable women you’ll meet in these joyous short plays that rapidly build to a delirious climax.
