Overview

Because nothing says “happy holidays” like getting dumped on national TV

After seeing her fiance kiss another woman at the televised Thanksgiving Day Parade, Mary’s life falls apart, just in time for the holidays. Over the next year, she stumbles back into the dating world, where “romance” ranges from weird and creepy to absurd and comical. It seems nothing can help Mary’s growing cynicism, until the charm and innocence of a five-year-old boy unexpectedly brings a new outlook on life and love. This heartwarming one-woman play offers a hilarious and modern alternative to the old standards of the holiday season.
