WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
With so much free music and video now available for download via the web, Women's Project is thrusting the medieval enterprise of theatre into the Internet Age. For the preview period (April 11 through 19) of Women's Project's new show, Catherine Trieschmann's comedy crooked directed by Liz Diamond, 1000 free tickets are available to be downloaded from the Women's Project web site, www.WomensProject.org.
Fourteen-year-old Laney is an aspiring writer with an imagination as off-kilter as her awkward adolescence. When she befriends the earnest, but hapless born-again Maribel, Laney's penchant for storytelling spirals out of control. The girls and Laney's mother grapple with matters of faith, fantasy, and the flesh, and discover that divine and earthly love may not be so far apart.

Laney (Cristin Milioti), a 14-year-old given to writing gruesome short stories, and her mom, Elise (Betsy Aidem), have just moved back to Elise's hometown in Mississippi from Wisconsin, where Laney's dad has been institutionalized for mental health issues. Elise has decided to divorce Laney's dad and also qui[...]
