Gemma Wilcox returns to Orlando with another multi-character theatrical feast and 23 exciting new characters! PICK-OF-THE-BOULDER-FRINGE-2006; “[she] shows you what theater can be." -Elizabeth Maupin, Orlando Sentinel

Gemma Wilcox returns to Orlando Fringe with another multi-character theatrical feast, after last year's sell-out hit show The Honeymoon Period is Officially Over.

Gemma Wilcox takes the audience on an adventure through the life of Sandra and her complex relationships. Out of the shadows and onto the stage Wilcox transforms seamlessly from male to female, from kid to crustacean, from flora to fauna in the most compelling tale yet. 23 exciting new characters, audience interaction and the point of no return for a young woman on the edge of her independence.
