Daisy Jones & the Six meets Waiting for Guffman in this kaleidoscopic retrospective of an out-of-work mother of two who accidentally starts a cult. Jillian spends her days doing laundry, keeping her wily children from injuring each other, and cleaning a perpetually messy kitchen.

Once a respected and eloquent poetry professor, she is now at home full-time raising two children under 5 and her poetry collections are employed as booster seats. When Jillian’s toddler captures a video of her rage-screaming mantras during an at-home workout video and her media-savvy cousin, Neko, makes it into a mock promo video for a wellness retreat and posts to Insta as a joke, it takes off. Apparently everyone is a little angry.

Soon, other stay-at-home moms with careers-on-hold start moving onto Jillian’s property. Surprised by the strangers, but desperate for community, Jillian and Neko study up on running a cult, -er, - commune while pretending to be the gurus everyone thinks that they are. When an outsider threatens to expose Jillian for who she really is, will the grand experiment collapse, or will Jillian become the person she was always meant to be?

Woven from interviews of various commune members as well as Jillian and Neko, this entirely female tale unfolds in comedic snippets, multi-perspective shared memories, and recounts of the disconcertingly smart shenanigans of the commune’s precocious children. #notacult is an unexpectedly poignant portrait of a woman in crisis on a comedic journey to reinvent herself as well as a heartwarming tale of the bizarre lengths women will go to in order to save each other.

Seeking Development.

A stream of consciousness wonderland blurring the lines between thought and reality. Touching on memory, childbirth, technology, death and Atlantic City, this poetic menagerie unleashes the thoughts that keep us spinning and the rage that keeps us going.

In a small Midwestern town, a tornado touches down on prom night, leaving devastation in its wake. The prom-goers emerge from the school to discover a third of their town gone. Amidst the rubble, a stranger appears - an otherworldly character who identifies only as "8." 8 communicates through a unique gestural language and begins to acquire English by reading YA classics like "Catcher in the Rye," "Lord of the Flies" and "Grapes of Wrath." But when the students start to learn 8's unconventional language, they threaten to unearth the town's past, including a shameful secret that most of the town would rather keep buried. ALiEN8 is a new musical about past sins and future reconciliations - about the parts of ourselves that we alienate to get by and the other parts we risk for a chance to connect.

ALiEN8 will be available for license in August 2021 with YouthPLAYS.

A TYA musical developed in collaboration with young artists on the things we lose and how to find them — where the lost boys are actually girls.
