Play Rating: 4.0/5.0
A former high-flying businesswoman named Maxine (Brittany Birch) follows her born-again husband Paul (Joe Edward Metcalfe) to a Southern Baptist seminary, after their marriage suffers infidelity. There she enrolls as a student at the Homemaking House, the nation’s premier training ground for wifely duties, facilitated by frenetic Terri (Kirsten Fitzgerald) and shared with her roommate Beth (Alexandra Chopson). When Beth’s fiancee Dusty (Adam Shalzi) arrives, his presence is surprisingly counter intuitive. Meanwhile, Max and Paul remain married.

Writers had to share the spotlight with independent filmmakers and sound designers last night, but they’ll have it all to themselves tonight when the 75th annual Writers Guild of America awards are officially unveiled.
The WGA Awards took place in concurrent ceremonies tonight at New York’s Edison Ballroom and Los Angeles’ Fairmont Century Plaza. The Writers Guild of America West (Wgaw) and the Writers Guild of America, East (Wgae) labor unions represent writers in motion pictures, television, cable, digital media, and broadcast news.
Michelle Buteau was hosting from New York and said she felt “luckier than Pete Davidson’s dick” to be presiding over the ceremony. Her raucous monologue included lines such as, “Tom Cruise is more of a ‘Bottom Gun’ than a ‘Top Gun.'”
Feature films eligible for a Writers Guild Award were exhibited theatrically for at least one week in Los Angeles during the eligibility...

Sunday’s 75th Writers Guild of America Awards will conclude the guild season (and a four-guild kudos weekend). Will they portend good things to come at the Oscars for the winners?
“Everything Everywhere All at Once,” written by Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert, and “Women Talking,” written by Sarah Polley, are projected to win the Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay prizes, respectively. The caveat, of course, is that neither is facing its top Oscar competition at WGA due to the guild’s eligibility requirements. Martin McDonagh‘s “The Banshees of Inisherin” script, which won the Golden Globe and BAFTA, is Awol in original, as is Oscar nominee “Triangle of Sadness.” And BAFTA’s adapted screenplay champ “All Quiet on the Western Front,” written by Edward Berger, Lesley Paterson and Ian Stokell, is ineligible, along with Oscar nominee “Living.”
