Brushes:
A Comedy of Hairs
(co-written with Carol Starr Schneider)
World Premiere: March 30, 2019
The Whitefire Theatre, Los Angeles CA
Brushes: A Comedy of Hairs is a smart, sassy, shiny new play about the complicated relationship between women and their hair since time immemorial. Brushes with disaster, vanity, envy, self-doubt, sex, death - even the law - are explored in hilarious and poignant style. The follicular follies flow from the Bad Hair Days Inn to a new salon on the block called Blow Me Now. Grab your mother, daughter, best friend, better half and ex-stylist as we drink to our mistakes and celebrate our collective crowning glory.
​
"Brushes: A Comedy of Hairs" does a hilarious job of untangling the complicated, frustrating, annoying, unfair, “Why me?!” relationship between women and their hair, since, well, forever."
‘Brushes: A Comedy of Hairs’ is a wiggy, wacky evening of fun..."
"Every woman, and even some men, will relate to these very funny skits focusing on our obsession with hair. There are 17 sketches involving a variety of characters portrayed by a talented 5-actor cast directed by Kevin Bailey. The scenes, written by Cathy Hamilton and Carol Starr Schneider, include "A Brush with Bangs-xiety," "A Brush with Conspiracy" and
"A Brush with Infidelity"... each one funnier than the next."
