“Dear PoPville,
Help us solve a Shaw neighborhood mystery: there’s been an incessant buzzing sound around the intersection of 7th and S St NW for weeks now. It sounds like a swarm of cicadas but is constant day/night & can be heard in a several-block radius. What is it?!” Read More

Motherload
Motherload is an autobiographical dark comedy about the wounds that accompany complicated mother-daughter relationships and the ways in which deep friendships-in all their crass glory-can heal and uplift. Together, Jenna and Justine work through their shared baggage – around dating, class, and most of all, both the lingering resentment and profound love that they have for their mothers-wild, unruly, and human in their flaws. As Nicole Hertvik remarked in DC Theater Arts, “It is the nuanced blend of comedy and vulnerability that gives Motherload its poignancy…Hall and Hipsky have created something intensely personal and yet very relatable in Motherload. The result is a moving theater experience that may be as cathartic for viewers as it is for the writers.”
