The history you didn't learn in school. Broken dreams. Deportation. Murder. Courage. Resilience. That Woman - The Monologue Show is a series of stories imagined from the perspectives of women involved with President John F. Kennedy - stories that in the past have often have been dismissed or deliberately silenced, including those of Ellen Rometsch, Blaze Starr, Mimi Alford, Mary Pinchot Meyer, Judith Exner and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Co-created by Molly Breen, director of Tennessee Playwright Studios and Angela Gimlin, COO of Inebriated Shakespeare Theater Company, along with eight fellow Nashville playwright/actors, the full production of this work originally premiered at the Darkhorse Theater in 2022 - in tandem with THAT WOMAN - THE DANCE SHOW - and was acclaimed by critics and audiences alike. Now we look forward to bringing the 60-minute festival version of the show to the Rochester Fringe Festival, with Breen directing and playing Mimi Alford alongside five local Rochester actors, including: Kat Rina Davis as Ellen Rometsch, Kesha Sharee Hartzog as Blaze Starr, Meagan Zdep as Mary Pinchot Meyer, Elizabeth Saunders as Judith Exner, and Joanne Brokaw as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Nominated for three Nashville First Night Awards, including Outstanding Original Work, Play and Ensemble, THAT WOMAN - THE MONOLOGUE SHOW will provide a fascinating night of theatre that will have audiences discussing long after the curtain falls.

"I'm so thrilled to bring this show to Rochester, says Breen, "whose Fringe Festival is so highly regarded. I'm so impressed with the talent in this cast, who are sure to impress with their depictions of these women, and I look forward to experiencing more talent as an audience member during the festival."
