Secretary
The recipe for a Kate Mock Elliott is to take one part Peter Pan complex, two parts Type-A control freak, mix together and simmer inside twelve years of Catholic school, let rise in a liberal arts music program, combine with an atheist guitarist, add two strong-willed daughters, fill with a burning desire to change the world for the better, and flavor generously with a wide assortment of hobbies, passions, interests, and skills. Heat over a candle burning at both ends, and watch what happens. katemockelliott.com

The story centers around one night of havoc at the North Pole as Sharon seeks to melt her infidel husband. Noel must try to stop her, but as the night progresses, not everything is as cut and dry as it seems.
This script is tight, which is impressive for a world premiere, with jokes coming at a rapid pace and clever conflicts woven into all of the action. The plot lines all resolve and the dialogue is smooth, and it makes for a delightful night of theater.
