Ron Hubbard. This is a story about reclaiming your power.

A highbrow-meets-midbrow satire, as entertaining as it is tragic, and inspired by real or imagined events, created and performed by award winning actress and published satirical author Joyce Miller* teamed up with renowned multi-hyphenate director and sound designer Janet Bentley, "The Handmaid's Dianetics Episode 1" will enjoy this first fully staged theatrical production following multiple adaptations for Zoom during the pandemic. In addition to including recorded music and instrumentals by Mike Handelman, the first episode of this ensemble trilogy will feature new scenes, new songs, and Ruby, the Fingermaid from "The Fingermaid's Tale", a body-thetan trapped in Ofhubbard's middle finger.
