Following a completely SOLD OUT World Premiere run + Encore Performance at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, the “damn near perfect” Fringe darling, “sister wivez” is back at UCB for a ONE NIGHT ONLY performance!
Winner of THE OLIVER KELLY AWARD, Semi-Finalist for THE LOUD KARMA EMERGING WOMEN AND GENDER-DIVERSE PLAYWRIGHTS AWARD, and nominee for THE PLANNERS PICK AWARD, “sister wivez” has made a lasting impact on many, including the playwright’s actively Mormon sister-in-law who said she “didn’t like it, but laughed a lot.”
“sister wivez” is a bizarre farce highlighting the events leading up to the anniversary dinner of five sister wives and their communal husband in real(-ish) time. This fifty-minute nightmare play explores the modern “village,” a woman’s purpose, and whether or not God is actually chill with lesbians.
Featuring some of the most off-putting, up-and-coming comedic voices Los Angeles, “sister wivez” boasts a cast of heavy hitters including Abby Schell, Jacob Schran, Jim Belden (also producer and co-director), Jordan Katcher, Jordan Knapp, Josiah Conway, Justin Page, Lindsay Lewis, Marta Myers (also writer, producer, and co-director), and Mercedes Ohlen (also producer).
