First comes loves, then comes marriage, then comes…dating? Comedian Anne Marie Scheffler returns to Lighthouse on February 23 with MILF Life Crisis, a show about the craziness of dating after divorce that proves “Mothers are Incredible, Lovely and Fantastic.”
MILF Life Crisis replaces Person of Interest as the second show in the 2019 One Act Festival playbill. Person of Interest, starring Melody Johnson, moves to the 2020 festival lineup.
Lighthouse Artistic Director Derek Ritschel is thrilled to welcome Anne Marie Scheffler back to Port Dover for a sassy show that’s sure to spice up your winter.
“Bringing Anne Marie and her show MILF Life Crisis to town may have been the easiest artistic adjustment I’ve made in years,” Ritschel said. “Her talents are widely respected in the entertainment industry and I look forward to enjoying the show right along with the LFT audience.”
MILF Life Crisis is written by Scheffler based on her own experiences as a divorced mom getting back in the dating game. Does she really need to go through first dates and bad judgement all over again, while juggling a parenting schedule with her ex? Is this a tragedy or a wonderful new beginning?
Lighthouse audiences will recognize Scheffler from her 2016 One Act Festival show, Suddenly Mommy, which took a comedic look at the tribulations of parenthood. Her Suddenly Mommy/MILF Life Crisis tour has played to rave reviews across North America, from the Windy City to Hollywood. She is the star and creator of eight solo comedy shows, one of which, Not Getting It, was turned into a one-hour TV comedy special. She also co-wrote Spank! The Fifty Shades Parody.
Now the actor, screenwriter, and Second City improv comedy alumna returns to Dover with an acclaimed “post-relationship comedy” that has proven to be a hit with hot mamas and those who love them.
Tickets to the One Act Festival are $65 for a three-show subscription or $25 each. To purchase tickets or learn more about the shows, click here.
