A reading of a wry, new one-woman show by writer and performer Jenny Allen which explores seed cheese, chemobrain, and other indignities from the land of illness.
A long time friend and familiar face of The Vineyard Playhouse, Jenny Allen has written profiles for Esquire and feature pieces, reviews, and the "Hers" column for The New York Times. She was a staff reporter at the monthly Life and a senior writer for several special editions. She has been a contributing editor at New York, Child, and Real Simple magazines, and is currently a contributing editor at Good Housekeeping. She produces and performs stand-up comedy in New York clubs. She is married to cartoonist and writer Jules Feiffer and they have two children.
The performance will be followed by a reception with Ms. Allen.

On selected Mondays during the summer, guest artists perform new work, generally in a concert or staged reading format for one performance only. These readings and performances are mini-benefits to help raise funds for The Vineyard Playhouse.
All shows begin at 7:00 PM. Readings and performances are usually followed by a Question and Answer period between writers, directors, performers, actors and audience and then a brief, informal reception downstairs in the lobby. The series is underwritten by Caroline Sharp and by The Liman Foundation.
