$4,000 Dollars

Mary-Louise spends all of her money in one day. Inside a boxing ring, she recounts her losses in harmony with the people involved in them–from cashiers to gynecologists, to strangers on the street. All the while, she is followed by a Ring Girl, who holds a sign displaying her rapidly declining account balance.

Written and directed by Georgica Pettus.

Originally staged at KAJE, June 2024.

Re-staged at New Theater Hollywood, January 2025.
