A disorganized professional organizer shares a bit too much personal information while conducting a workshop. A girl in a doctor’s office imagines her boyfriend getting pregnant instead of her. A harried mother tells her daughter a story using a bag of groceries.
Nine monologues presented in no particular order, Get Organized! is a flexible play for females from teenagers to grandmothers and covers the victories and disappointments of working and privilege.
