This comedic solo play follows one woman’s journey to reclaim agency after trauma, blending humor and heartbreak to transform silence, shame, and survival into connection and empowerment. Between hookups, vibrators, and Tinder, she navigates the chaotic hellscape of modern dating. With wit and no-holds-barred honesty, Join The Club confronts a culture of sexual misbehavior while celebrating resilience and desire. Raw, funny, and disarmingly intimate, it asks the unaskable—like whether survivors should wear matching sashes—and invites audiences to laugh, reflect, and heal alongside her as she rewrites her story on her terms.
