45 Plays for America’s First Ladies

45 Plays for America’s First Ladies leaps from comic to tragic as it surveys the lives of the women who have served (and avoided serving) as first lady, from Martha to Melania. A biographical, meta-theatrical, genre-bending ride through race, gender, and everything else your history teacher never taught you about the founding of America.

“A RELENTLESS SKETCH COMEDY FLIPBOOK” – JESSE GREEN’S CRITIC’S PICK IN THE NEW YORK TIMES!

“CONSISTENTLY CREATIVE, INVENTIVE AND ADMIRABLY AVOIDANT OF THE PREDICTABLE”– CHRIS JONES, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

“…A MARVELOUSLY CREATIVE COMPENDIUM OF 45 PLAYLETS… ‘FIRST LADIES’ IS AS IMMEDIATE AS ANYTHING CAN BE FROM A SOCIAL DISTANCE.” – CATEY SULLIVAN, CHICAGO SUN TIMES

The Care and Keeping Of You

A deceptively simple movie about a twelve-year-old girl who gets her period for the first time at her friend's birthday party. She is ushered through this rite of passage by her friend's intimidating older sister, and the two women share a meaningful experience that subtly changes them both. It is a quiet film about growing up, anxiety, and the surprising ways we are able to be there for each other.
