Theater Mu presents "Dipped In Love"

By Martha Johnson
Directed by Jennifer Weir

Dipped in Love follows the transformation of three women’s lives through loss, love, and the power of finding friendship in unlikely places. Featuring Momoko Tanno, Maria Kelley, and (actor TBA), and with direction and dramaturgy by Jennifer Weir, this collaborative theatre piece features women who find the courage to "walk the edge of the sword" rather than accept the status quo. On this journey, they have to deal with the repercussions, which are intense and revelatory. Written by Martha Johnson and inspired by interviews with three women, Dipped in Love combines movement, monologue, and dialogue to portray a fictional account of their lives.
