There's a time and place for a monocle: 2018 and a Bronx high school are neither of them!

The HIGHLY ANTICIPATED return home of the NATIONAL HIT comedy play "Mo-to-the-oncle" (MO-to-the-AWN-uh-kuhl)! Back in NYC for TWO NIGHTS ONLY in APRIL and MAY at The Peoples Improv Theater, where it all started!

Mo-to-the-oncle (MO-to-the-AWN-uh-kuhl) follows Detroit Price, Jr., a Bronx teenager who must wear a monocle to school after his dad loses their vision insurance. Through a succession of rapid-fire costume changes, writer and performer Melissa Cole portrays eight different characters to chronicle Detroit’s difficulty as an anachronistically kind of bespectacled student. The show also features musical numbers from an eclectic range of genres, including rap, R&B, and even country.

WINNER 'Best Actress' 2017 Pittsburgh Fringe

"Detroit’s embarrassment is hysterical and relatable…even if you weren’t forced to wear a 19th-century accessory in high school." -Baltimore STYLE Magazine

“Cole inhabits an impressive amount of characters, including Detroit's father, and a country music loving pimp named Sugar Free, along with singing and rapping throughout the show.” -Rochester CITY Newspaper

“[F]ast-paced and idiosyncratic enough to resemble a shorter, more socially conscious Wes Anderson film. Cole jumps from bizarre caricature to bizarre caricature to deliver a series of booming monologues...” -Pittsburgh in the Round
