Grab a cupcake, put on a name tag, and prepare to be thrown into the world of the Christian right, where sexual purity workshops and anti-abortion rallies are sandwiched between karaoke sing-alongs, Christian EDM raves, and pro-life slumber parties. After years of immersive research and workshops, playwright and actor Madeline Joey Rose launches a fully revamped version of MOM BABY GOD — her controversial solo show that brings the audience face-to-face with American girl culture in the right-wing.

A pre-Obamacare study from 2009 found that a large percentage of Americans are one serious illness away from financial ruin. This gripping hour-long monologue by writer-performer Michael Milligan details precisely how it might happen… Milligan is riveting, conveying a fascinating mix of decency, heartbreak, and impotent fury.Chicago Reader
