FIX ME, JESUS was written by Helen Sneed, who is well known to Dayton Playhouse audiences as a favorite visiting adjudicator for FutureFest, asummer festival of new plays, now in its 25th year. The Dayton Playhouse is proud to present this regional premier of FIX ME, JESUS.
In a Neiman Marcus changing room in Dallas, on the most important day of her life, Annabell Armstrong frantically searches for the perfect dress. A rising star in the Texas Democratic Party, Annabell is trapped in the Reagan eighties. Her political career, love affair, finances, and family relations are in crisis; and strong-minded characters from her past begin to appear from behind the changing room mirror. “FIX ME, JESUS” is a dark comedy—the hilarious, timely, and poignant story of a woman who finds herself at the epicenter of history and politics, struggling for personal independence and social justice against the lifelong theft of her own power. “FIX ME, JESUS is a brilliant emotional roller coaster ride…There’s humor, love, laughter, and high fashion…not to be missed.” —BroadwayWorld.com
