My Life as a Doormat (In Three Acts)
by Rene Gutteridge
Playwright Leah Townsend doesn't like conflict one bit, but these days she can't seem to avoid it. Her career is quickly sliding downhill. Her agent has ordered a hit or else and her new play is going nowhere. Then her obsessively moderate boyfriend, after a minor argument, has the nerve to enroll her in a "conflict resolution" class. Turns out they're learning to embrace conflict and settle it fairly, not just avoid it a distinct challenge to a woman who has spent her life not making waves. Enter annoying radio host "Cinco" Dublin, ordered to join the group after punching out a reporter in front of his home. Sparks soon fly between Leah and Cinco, but can a people-pleasing playwright find happiness with a man who thrives on controversy? Conflict resolution has never been so fun in this lively new romp from the author of "Boo."
