While usually found lurking in the shadows behind the scenes, New Providence playwright and PFP producer Maggie Lee appears on stage as an actor this month in the world premiere of Do It for Umma by Seayoung Yim!  Opening on February 2 at Annex Theatre, this new dark revenge comedy is directed by PFP alum Sara Porkalob, and also features PFP actor Christian Ver.

In this surreal comedic detective story, the ghost of Hannah¹s recently deceased mother returns to haunt the Korean convenience store she once ran with an iron fist, shaming, cajoling, and needling her daughter into avenging her extremely suspicious death. While Hannah¹s older brother shirks off familial duties in favor of a romantic tryst with the local dry-cleaning maven, Hannah embarks on an epic mission to piece together the clues that will lead her to Umma¹s killer. Featuring a chorus of ajummas and a healthy dose of revenge, Do It for Umma is an absurd tragicomedy about a young woman trying to gain her mother¹s approval and protect her family¹s honor in the strangest of circumstances.
