What this person has accomplished is nothing short of miraculous. The ride they go on every performance, the dynamics, the pure energy of it all. It is power and grace in perfect measure.

And they do it all while serving as our Managing Director and de facto company touchstone.

It truly is a spectacle not to be missed.

You have one more chance, and there are still a few tickets left.

Today (Sunday) at 3pm.

The absolute heart of our show. This play is called Freud on Co***ne, but they never say which Freud they are talking about. This play is as much Martha’s as it is Sigmund’s.

And you don’t want to miss Paulina’s rendering as she takes you from a brave but innocent child to a strong and direct mother.

Today (Sunday) at 3pm is your final chance.

See what Big Daddy Pharma is slinging!!!

Only 2 more chances to see the show that audience and critics agree is laugh out loud funny while also being extremely touching and even educational.
