THE INS AND OUTS OF FINGERS, SPOONS, AND OPEN MARRIAGE Comes To The United Solo Festival

Battle scarred and still willing, artist and mother Pascale Roger-McKeever still refuses to compromise. She returns to her stage roots with her New York Premiere of The Ins and Outs of Fingers, Spoons and Open Marriage - Winner of the 2018 Marsh Madness Competition - at Theatre Row, 410 West 42nd Street, October 31st at 9:00 pm.

A suburban Mom accepts her husband's invitation to an open marriage and proceeds with a singleness of purpose no one saw coming. The Ins and Outs acknowledges and embraces the acute discomfort of living out our inescapable sexuality. A funny and shameless exploration of shame itself that for good measure upends accepted notions about healing and self-realization along the way.

Pascale's writing is inspired by the following quote, "...the whole sky has fallen on [me] and all [I] can do about it is shout." (Antigone, Jean Anouilh)
