“Piercing, ferocious, and devastatingly hilarious” – New York Times
“THIS IS A PLAY ABOUT HOW I STOPPED BEING A TOTAL DISASTER AND GOT MY LIFE ON TRACK AND DID NOT LET OVERWHELMING FEELINGS OF ANXIOUSNESS AND LONELINESS AND USELESSNESS JUST LIKE TOTALLY EAT MY BRAIN”, declares Sherry Wickman, heroine for a new generation of underemployed college graduates. Things are looking up for Sherry – she’s found her first job after months of misery spent mostly at home in her childhood bed. Still, a few challenges remain: her mother has locked herself upstairs, her sister is entrenched on the couch, her new boss won’t leave his rifle at home, and a tiger has escaped from the local zoo.
District Theatre Collective (Avenue Q, The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, Into the Woods, Mr Burns: a post-electric play) presents the Canadian premiere of this moving and darkly funny new comedy about the nebulous and tiny ways the human spirit can triumph from Kim Rosenstock, writer for the hit TV series New Girl.
