Coming Soon

"I Want The World To Love is a cabaret-style theatre piece that, through monologue, poetry, music, and movement, weaves together stories about women navigating worlds that were not built for them.

How do you love a world that doesn’t love you back? Welcome to Miss Dee’s dungeon. Let’s explore!"

Told in the style of Fleabag with an early 2000’s pop-punk soundtrack, this award-winning playwright’s one-woman comedy follows party-girl Candace as she runs away to Mexico for her best friend's destination wedding. A karaoke bar, dead goldfish, and a spirited adventure. You won't have regrets... but Candace might.
