About the PLAY

Is the story of Beverly Onion, the world’s loneliest mortician’s assistant (and Star Wars fan), who finds herself the unsuspecting subject of a wager between the forces of Fate and Luck. Her darkly comic heroes journey takes her from the basement of Hortaman's funeral home, to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, to the mountains of Nepal (with plenty of Star Wars Jokes and strange characters along the way), as she seeks to understand her deep connection to the mythical Abominable Snowman. Written by Katie May, directed by Chloe Bronzan, and produced in conjunction with Symmetry Theatre Company as part of PlayGround's 20th annual PlayGround Festival of New Works, this is a play for the lonely hearts, the awkward monsters, and the unabashed geeks inside us all.
