Who goes on a sugar fast in a house filled with attorneys? A wellness coach. When a well-meaning (but ambitious) wellness coach takes on a 14 year-old who’s off her meds, a frustrated attorney, a homeless guitarist, and a bloated detective, chaos ensues.

From the playwright who brought us the internationally successful Dirty Barbie & Other Girlhood Tales, comes a new modern comedy written specifically for Lee Street theatre! Collaboratively developed by Lee Street theatre, Jim Epperson, and Denise Laughlin Stewart, this first commissioned piece builds and expands the Lee Street theatre vision of encouraging and developing new work.

Available Roles

Sally – 40ish. A wellness coach and central player in a newly begun podcast concerning a sugar fast. She has just opened an office in an old, beautiful, somewhat shabby house in the historic downtown area of Charlottesville, Virginia.

Woodrow “Woody” Brice – 30. A trust lawyer who works for himself in the building and quickly becomes Sally’s friend.

Gracie Fife – 14. A young client of Sally’s. Very hyper and random.

Ed Dawson - 35. Sally’s homeless brother

Louise Thacker - 58. A “down in the dumps” detective and another client of Sally’s
