Presenting INSERTION by Sarah Groustra
Running April 18th through 21st at the Connelly Theater Upstairs.
Maisie has finally landed an apprenticeship at the prestigious Red Key Publishing House, with the acclaimed fiction writer Gilda Tarrington assigned as her mentor. But posh, ancient Gilda has a secret: she’s really the mind behind the famous pseudonym of an erotic paperback empire, and she believes Maisie has the potential to be her successor. Determined not to lose her first major writing opportunity, Maisie sets out to learn everything she can about sex in a series of hilarious, harrowing, and heartwarming escapades.
INSERTION won the 2022 New Comedies Festival at B Street Theatre in Sacramento, CA, and was performed on their mainstage the following summer. Read a review here!
