JOE SIMONELLI'S
Dr. Cecelia Monahan has a serious problem. As a therapist who runs a support group for single and divorced women, she must listen to a number of relationship problems from her unusual cadre of patients as well as dealing with the unsolicited advice of her live in mother on subjects ranging from dating to cooking recipes. The doctor, however, is not above using some unorthodox methods of her own such as hiring out of work actors to role play with her patients. It is only when Cecelia meets the new substitute package delivery man that the doctor must learn to practice what she preaches!
WHAT THE CRITICS SAID:
"A fascinating comedy! Mr. Simonelli certainly has a tape recorder on the world....go see it now!"
Joe Franklin - Bloomberg Radio
"...a sweet sitcom about the life of a women psychologist...it's group therapy with a women's support group and the comedy sections work the best..."
Richmond Shephard - Performing Arts Insider
"...audiences are doubling up with laughter"
Asbury Park Press
"Simonelli displays an adept comic touch...the group therapy sections alone are worth the price of admission!"
Phil Dorian - Two River Times
STARRING: Emily Cordes, Lucy Apicello, Justin Younts, Frank Logan, Liz Meinders, Roberta Davis, Jamie Lee Kearns and Taylor Henkin.
