We are thrilled to present the New Jersey premiere of the revised edition of Parallel Lives: THE KATHY & MO SHOW by comediennes Mo Gaffney and Kathy Najimy. This playfully satirical series of sketches achieved cult status in its long off-Broadway run, and was updated in 2006 for a triumphant revival.

Laura Ekstrand & Harriet Trangucci in Parallel Lives

Traditionally performed by two women, Dreamcatcher’s production will feature four actresses who will lead the voyage from adolescence to midlife crisis to the golden years, skewering sexual stereotypes and contemporary identities with wit and wisdom.

Parallel Lives was among Dreamcatcher’s first productions thirteen years ago, and it was an enormous favorite with the audience. Because it was recently updated and revived in New York, the time seemed right to revisit the hilarious and relevant piece.

“A romp with a feminist sensibility; it’s humor for a post-Lily Tomlin generation,” wrote Variety’s critic during its New York run. “Above all, Parallel Lives is a smart, provocative show.”
