The Program

#MineToo

Written by Mary Jo Verruto & Andrew Cahill

Mary Jo’s boyfriend hijacks a workshop of her critically acclaimed one-woman show, Born MYdentity. This musical comedy features fantastical appearances by Tori Amos, Janis Joplin, Jon Secada and many more! But can MJ’s show survive an assault from reality? #MineToo exposes the struggle between ownership and partnership, creating and appropriating, and the truth behind the stories we tell ourselves.
