WHO'S YOUR (SUGAR) DADDY? By Ashlynn Judy To Premier At The Hollywood Fringe Festival In June

Written and directed by Ashlynn Judy, WHO'S YOUR (SUGAR) DADDY? is a laugh-out-loud farce that'll have you cringing one minute and crying the next. The provocative dramedy opens on June 8th, 2024 at the McCadden Place Theater as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival.

About The Production

After a chance meeting, a young woman, Bailey, goes on a lavish dinner date with an eccentric sugar daddy, Allen. While their initial conversation is filled with awkward pauses and unintentional faux pas, Bailey soon finds herself head over heels for the stranger. However, when Allen invites Bailey back to his estate, she quickly realizes that the fairytale she thought she had fallen into might actually be a spider web tangled with lies, betrayal, and... A few more awkward pauses.

ALEX PONT (Producer/Allen): Alex first began as a production and camera assistant back in Chicago, before making the move to Los Angeles to attend USC for English literature and film.
