Janitor's Baby

Molly McMannon graduated from Princeton University and also climbed Mt. Everest, but today she faces her most epic challenge yet: raising a baby. Not just any baby, an Armenian baby. In Anelga Hajjar's musical seminar, JANITOR'S BABY, one scholar pits her stellar qualifications against her family's criticisms as she struggles to achieve motherhood.

My Evening Routine

Your evening routine might involve flossing and a twelve-step skincare regimen, but Cecilia’s involves a dysfunctional battle of wits with the ghost in her closet. What happens when monsters start using calories, boys, and mortality to scare us instead of shadows and boos? Anelga Hajjar’s new play, MY EVENING ROUTINE, exposes the evolving fears that come with womanhood.

Production, Vertigo Ten Minute Play Festival, dir. Sarah Welford, 2021.
