Starring Irene Molloy
November 11 at 2:00 pm
Before she was a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter and mother, Irene Molloy was navigating the glittering, complex machinery of show business. She went from starring in early 00s cult-classic sitcoms (Grosse Pointe, Andy Richter Controls the Universe) to the heartbreaking reality of starring in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Whistle Down the Wind, only to have it close before reaching Broadway.
Show Pony is an original solo show written and performed by a woman standing on the other side of her own story. Blending original music with sharp storytelling, Molloy unpacks a childhood where she realized she had to hit her marks just to matter to her mother.
But how does becoming a mother to her own daughter reshape that narrative?
Directed by Padraic Lillis, Show Pony is a funny, moving exploration of breaking cycles, letting your child forge their own path, and ultimately keeping a promise to yourself to sing again.
