My wish: the audience gets as much fun watching NO FUGU FOR YUGU as we did making it! I think ridiculous things are funny. This is an offbeat, dead pan, witty, whodunnit + 100% homemade!
We are cast... and crew!
Working with Rich, Salme, Liz, and Jen, was a wonderful experience as we’re all close friends. It’s like being part of a theatre company, which is only right because we come from strong stage backgrounds. This is our third season of Mrs. Carmody & Mrs. Jellineck.
Enjoy!
