In their desperate race to the star, mother and daughter draw unwitting allies to their cause. But when Baby gets pregnant, everyone goes to war. AWESOME BIG SOMEBODY is a wild romp through celebrity worship, designer adoption, compulsive shoplifting, teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and the on-going war in the Middle East… in other words, a slice of America.

    “ This play is so fantastic and a must for any fan of reality television and the paparazzi crazed American world of celebrity worship. Well done. ”

    “ This play is so dark, so funny, so off-the-wall. AWESOME BIG SOMEBODY casts light (and shadows) on the scary, seemingly glamorous world of Fame, and on the ridiculous things we expect women to go ga-ga over. The stakes are high, the characters are off-the-charts insane; this play is an awesome, weird, wild ride. I love the climactic scene, which is like a wonderful bizarre-o horror-farce, blending reality and fiction until they're unrecognizable. Really fun, really smart, -really- dark, really hilarious. ”
