JENNY’S DOLL HOSPITAL
Original Score by Sara Stebbins
2024 - Staged Reading, LimeFest at The Tank
2022 - Workshop, Williams College
Once upon a time, a woman named Jane ran a doll hospital – a place for humans to bring broken Barbies and mangled marionettes alike. One stormy summer night, a woman named Jenny happened upon Jane’s doorstep. The two locked eyes, and it was love at first sight.
But that was many storms ago. Jane is gone now, an unspeakable tragedy that’s left Jenny to operate the doll hospital alone– well, alone if you don’t count the pile of broken dolls lying around, waiting to be fixed…
A fresh take on timeless themes, Jenny’s Doll Hospital is a queer chamber musical about devotion, brokenness, and what it takes to heal.

Two Lindas, steamy rumors, depressed undergrads, oh my! I’ve a feeling we’re not in 1899 Louisiana anymore. No wait. I’ve a feeling we’re not in *book club* anymore. Or are we…? Bring out the Trader Joe’s apps, ladies, and pour yourself another glass of sauv blanc. A sort-of adaptation of Kate Chopin’s The Awakening, Pigeon House explores the ways that wealthy suburban womanhood begins and ends lives.
