About the Show
The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow is a hilarious and heartfelt “techno-comedy,” that tells the story of Jennifer Marcus, an agoraphobic computer genius, who goes searching for her biological mother in China. Along the way she is aided by a Mormon missionary, a pizza delivery driver, and the outstanding robot she built called Jenny Chow.
The play, authored by Rolin Jones, won the 2006 Obie Award for Playwriting. Mr. Jones was also a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for this play. For the last four years, Mr. Jones has been writer-producer for Showtime’s award-winning series Weeds.
