When it first premiered, Time Out Miami called When Monica Met Hillary “…[a] fresh take on a turning point in our politics and the victims of its tabloid churn.” The play spans a 20+ year timeline, following the lives of Monica Lewinsky and Hillary Clinton, accompanied by Lewinsky’s mother Marcia Lewis and Clinton advisor Huma Abedin. “At its heart, the play is about mothers and daughters,” director Iacometta remarks. “The riveting final scene is a culmination of 20 years of growth for both women.”

Juliana Valente and Christine O’Donnell star as Monica Lewinsky and Hillary Clinton. Valente
appears through the courtesy of Actors' Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors
and Stage Managers in the United States.

Supporting roles include Erica Kresch as Marcia Lewis and Denys Henriquez as Huma Abedin. The production team includes director Laura Iacometta as well as stage manager Lisa Sisco, assistant stage manager and production assistant Leyda Torres Ceglia, set designers and constructors Katherine Decker Lewis and David Zanko, costume coordinator and social media specialist Scout Schiro, and production assistant Rich Pearson. The crew is rounded out by Debbie Zika, Emily Freling, and several high school students from our local community including Ettie Eggers, Bec Nicolas, and Alexander and Michael McKay.
