Description

Linda LaRocque
15 minute comedy
1 man, 4 women
Mary and Patsy are convinced Dad needs someone to help keep the house clean and neat. Surprisingly, he takes to the idea without much fuss. If fact, he has launched a plan of his own, starting with posting an ad on the hardware store’s bulletin board. His hire may not be matronly nor interested in cooking kale with tofu, but she does have all of her own teeth and is as strong as a bull thanks to her former life as a lady wrestler.
