Developing Fresh Voices and PRODUCING THEATRE for the 21st Century
Page To Stage - SINGLEVILLE with Mary McCallum
About the Play
In this raucously funny play, three bachelorette pals explore single life. Parody is the name of the game as a host of goofy male stereotypes appear in flashbacks, pickup scenarios, and TV show satires, with the three women gleefully trading off the male impersonations.
