About The Show

Millie is back home in Mobile, AL for a prestigious fellowship she couldn’t pass up. Her east coast born and raised Puerto Rican partner, Avery, is recovering from gender affirming top surgery. When quasi-aunt to Millie and righteous woman of God Teresa overhears Millie talking to the pharmacist at CVS, she assumes Avery has breast cancer and puts events in motion that turn everyone’s lives upside down: cue the casseroles, care packages, and checkbooks – a gofundme to SAVE AVERY! "I never asked for a gofundme" is a new queer comedy about gender, family, and religion that asks what it means to be worthy of care.

MEGAN CARNEY - Director                          JAYNE DEELY - Playwright

"Jayne Deely’s I never asked for a gofundme is a razor sharp and deeply human new play. It is heartbreakingly funny, a bold new play that refuses to look away from the absurdity of the systems we create.”

–Patrice Amon, Co-Artistic Director, Tu-Yo Theatre
