Dial A is for Aunties by Jesse Sutanto (fiction romance) – recommended by Sally Ebnet
When Meddelin Chan ends up accidentally killing her blind date, her meddlesome mother calls for her even more meddlesome aunties to help get rid of the body. Unfortunately, a dead body proves to be a lot more challenging to dispose of than one might anticipate, especially when it is inadvertently shipped in a cake cooler to the over-the-top billionaire wedding Meddy, her Ma, and aunties are working at an island resort on the California coastline.

Incident at Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Take a trip back to 1973 with the Irish Catholic O’Shea family. This boisterous and moving new memory play introduces us to young Linda as she recalls a week she’ll never forget. When Linda’s mother instructs her to tell her sister about the birds and the bees, things quickly snowball into a potential crisis after the conversation is overheard by the parish priest. Secrets are unintentionally revealed, and a quick-witted group of women realize what really matters as they work to protect their family reputation and each other. This wild and tender comedy explores the foolishness of first love and ultimately the power of family.
Joining us at 11:30AM for lunch is optional. Otherwise, meet us at the theater at 12:45AM
Tickets are $32, Group rate $27
