Crowded Fire Presents The Secretaries by The Five Lesbian Brothers Directed by Marissa Wolf "Who knew workd processing could be so deadly?"

Patty is a good girl—top graduate in her class and a pretty young thing. She’s also the newest addition to Cooney Lumber Mill’s chainsaw wielding murderous secretarial pool. Amidst giggles, slim fast shakes, celibacy pacts, and clandestine encounters, the Cooney girls take down Big Bone, Oregon…one lumberjack at a time.

Presented at the Boxcar Playhouse

bloody humor pregnant with
incisive social commentary.”
--Rob Hurwitt, SF Examiner
