Meet Jen.
We meet Jen, a GenX new mom, in 2013, and descend into her sleep-deprived world: The Playground, where well-intentioned straight moms offer sympathy and sarcasm; The Cafe, home to a group of Millennial queers who literally can’t see her; and The Bedroom, where Jen’s Boomer Femme Fairy Godmother offers beauty advice and biting historical context.
Act 2 finds Jen divorced and middle aged in 2024, parenting a non-binary tween who is navigating puberty with a lot more grace than Jen is navigating her own change of life. The Millennial Queers turn to her for help with their various identity crises, but Jen has to reclaim her own identity before she can help anyone else–maybe by going after that hot butch from Act 1? She’s helped along by Peggy Lee, Chappell Roan, and that bonkers Enjoli commercial from 1980.
Good To See You is a campy romp through the absurdities and indignities of queer motherhood and perimenopause; a vulnerable dive into loss of identity and invisibility; a satiric dissection of intergenerational relationships to gender; an explosion of pop culture; and an unapologetic femme manifesto.
