Patty Johnson lands the job of her dreams at the Cooney Lumber Mill in Big Bone, Oregon. But it's a comic nightmare when she discovers - amidst slim fast shakes, celibacy pacts and hotel rendezvous (with Magic Fingers, of course!) - that her secretarial pool are chainsaw-wielding lumberjack killers! Equal parts humor, horror and satire, THE SECRETARIES is Twin Peaks meets The Stepford Wives in a smart, campy (and bloody!) comedy.
The production team for THE SECRETARIES includes William Boles (scenic design), Mieka van der Ploeg (costume design), Rebecca Levy (lighting design), Miles Polaski (sound design) and Helen Lattyak (stage manager).
