A brand new, explosive play by Tess Huth, its full title is How the Fuck am I Pregnant, Or, a Trans Virgin Mary’s Tale.

It’s been said that every pregnancy is a miracle. This is triply true for Vanessa, a trans woman who wakes up one cold December morning inexplicably in her third trimester. As Christmas approaches, Vanessa, aided by her friends and beloved character actor Danny DeVito, must grapple with what it means to birth a miracle baby unto this world like a certain virgin two millennia before.​ The cast: Rocheny Pricien, Andy Belt, Niki Jay, J Purnell Hargrove, Charles Dickinson, and Max Garner.

Last read by RLP in 2022, this is a new revision to Priyanka Shetty’s side-splitting drawing room farce Marjorie is Dead. The once-opulent Tilbury estate is in grave peril. The doctor, the Colonel, the solicitor, and a roguish ne’er-do-well run circles around each other as the family comes to grips with a deadly “coroners’ virus” which has claimed the life of young Marjorie. The cast: Sharon Carter Brown, Andy Belt, Gracie Sciannella, Will Meister, Benny Pope, Max Garner, and Niki Jay.

Both readings are directed by Alanna Slaw Kiewe.
