TALKING WITH...
by Jane Martin

Directed by Jennifer Warwick

A young woman tests her Christian faith by handling poisonous snakes. A housewife escapes to Oz every day. A destitute woman wants to live in McDonald’s, where the sick are cured by Big Macs and no one ever dies.  A baton twirler sees the face of Jesus thirty feet in the air. 

In eleven powerful monologues, "Talking With ..." by Jane Martin exposes the common bonds of the lives of women as varied as a redneck rodeo champion, a wealthy matron, a grieving daughter, a pregnant woman, and a "slightly bizarre" actress. The unexpected camaraderie revealed in the depth of emotion - and complemented by the playwright`s razor wit - speaks to all audiences.
