Performances
- Speed Dating for Sperm Donors (February 2–7): Based on Natalie Meisner’s personal journey—a story captured in her acclaimed book Double Pregnant—this poignant comedy follows Helen and her partner Paige as they search for the ideal man to father their kids-to-be.
- Ivanka Chews the Fat (March 9–14): Jo-Ann Waytowich’s outrageous pseudo Eastern European character—a Lunchbox standard—returns to try her very determined hands at motivational speaking. Ivanka uses song, dance, and story to inspire her fans to embark on a “10-point personal tune-up,” tackling everything from personal image to aging.
- A Worthy Opponent (April 6–11): The biggest rival Ivy has for Nathan’s affection is the one woman who’ll never leave: his mother. Meg Bream’s dissection of the wife/mother-in-law dynamic sees Ivy and Penelope fiercely battle for Nathan’s affections in a funny, thoughtful, and awfully close-to-home debate-style performance.
- Dads in Bondage (May 4–9): This Lunchbox classic pulls back the curtain on a trio of brand-new stay-at-home dads as they struggle to adjust to their new responsibilities and leave the office life behind. What they find: a lot more snacks and a lot less time to make paperclip necklaces.
