The Handmaid's Dianetics Episode 1 will enjoy this first fully staged theatrical production following multiple adaptations for Zoom during the pandemic.
Ofhubbard is kicked out of the Church of Scientology after experiencing a queer awakening, only to discover that she is not gay, but merely experiencing past life gender confusion-for not only was she a man in her previous lifetime-she was the most powerful man of all...Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. This is a story about reclaiming your power.
A highbrow-meets-midbrow satire, as entertaining as it is tragic, and inspired by real or imagined events, created and performed by award winning actress and published satirical author Joyce Miller* teamed up with renowned multi-hyphenate director and sound designer Janet Bentley, "The Handmaid's Dianetics Episode 1" will enjoy this first fully staged theatrical production following multiple adaptations for Zoom during the pandemic. In addition to including recorded music and instrumentals by Mike Handelman, the first episode of this ensemble trilogy will feature new scenes, new songs, and Ruby, the Fingermaid from "The Fingermaid's Tale", a body-thetan trapped in Ofhubbard's middle finger.
Tickets for the Saturday March 18, 8:30PM performance at 410 West 42nd Street can be purchased below.
