Dad's Garage to Stage New Sketch Show WOMAN OF THE YEAR

This February, Dad's Garage will challenge the portrayal of modern women in society during the scripted comedy show "Woman of the Year." Featuring sketches written by the ladies of Dad's Garage, this show twists all sorts of traditional notions of how women are supposed to act, dress, think, and live their lives. The story begins on New Year Day and goes through a year of life for a typical American woman. Traipsing through Valentine's Day, July 4, Black History Month, Halloween, and more, the sketches subvert how male-female dynamics play out in everyday life. During Valentine's Day, female executives talk about what crap men will buy to feel better about their endowment. See what happens when a Black Friday shopper meets his match in the women of his dreams. Madame President must save Christmas. And women celebrate their favorite holiday-April 20. The sketches confront female stereotypes in the home, office, and public spaces.

True to Dad's Garage style, this show is meant to be accessible and appealing to a wide audience. Don't expect Amazonian women preaching radical feminist politics; this show is written for everyone to laugh at. Dude bros might feel the burn of the male gaze turned on them, but we promise if you bring your girlfriend you'll get some after the show. Some of the sketches cut like the chards of a broken glass ceiling, and some are straight-up ridiculous fun. Get ready for an evening of funny females with "Woman of the Year."
