A GOOD DAY TO ME NOT TO YOU
written & performed by Lameece Issaq
directed by Lee Sunday Evans
presented through special arrangement with Plate Spinner Productions
Writer and actor Lameece Issaq teams up with two-time Obie winning director Lee Sunday Evans on her riotously funny and gut-wrenching new play about a 40-whatever dental lab tech who gets fired and moves into St. Agnes Residence, a woman's rooming house run by nuns. While there, she must come to terms with her unfulfilled path to motherhood and the untimely death of her sister - all while fending off her unpredictable and sometimes deranged cohabitants. The play is performed by Issaq in a story-telling tour-de-force.
