Description

The endearingly ditzy Pochsy is back in a new monologue!

Pochsy used to work at Mercury Packers. Where she packed mercury. Until her job got off-shored. Now she's keeping suuuuper-busy taking gummies and thinking about rescue dogs, Joni Mitchell, gender, and pandas. And then she wins a cruise ...

This is a dark comedy.  Not for children. It's like a concert inside a mind inside a body sailing the River of Contemporary Consciousness. Pochsy offers herself up as a kind of salve for your 3:33 a.m. worries and dreams, from neo-banking to the future of humankind.

This monologue follows the acclaimed trilogy of The Pochsy Plays, which have travelled the globe.
