Dear ones,
I am wishing you safe travels, loving embraces, and full bellies as we race towards the holidays. As promised, you all have first dibs on big news that hasn’t yet hit the rest of the internet!
You’ve been with me every step of the way as I’ve peeled back the curtain on the making of Sugarcoated—the joy, the pain, and the catharsis that has grown into a powerful, raw, funny, heart-wrenching play. Last week, I shared with you the big news that Sugarcoated is making its New York premiere this February at The Flea Theater!
This show is my labor of love—an unflinching look at the ways women are taught to sweeten their voices and suppress their truths. It’s deeply personal, painfully funny, and—I hope—utterly unforgettable.
But here’s the truth about producing theatre independently: it takes a village.
From the venue to the lighting to fair wages for the amazing team I’m hiring, every element of Sugarcoated comes with a cost. I’d love for your help to make this dream a reality!

Why It Matters
As you know, Sugarcoated isn’t just a play—it’s a Russian Doll of unlearning the ways in which we are made small. It’s a tragically and beautifully universal experience, and an urgent call to reclaim our voices, own our truths, and foster a world where we can all be unapologetically ourselves. This isn’t just my story—it’s a story for anyone who’s ever been silenced.
Your Impact
Every dollar brings us closer to opening night:
🎟️ $50 helps cover props and concessions
🎭 $250 moves the needle on paying my collaborators and crew
🌟 $500 funds a portion of our venue rental
This is it, friends—the moment to make Sugarcoated happen. I can’t thank you enough for believing in me and for being part of this journey. Let’s light up the stage together.
xx Jen
