I’m Doing This For You: SCRATCH

Haley McGee
Age recommendation: 18+

“We were 14. Let’s be 82. Age with me. I’m doing this for you.”

A woman reformed orchestrates an epic romantic gesture to win back her ex
He’s an aspiring stand-up comedian
It’s his birthday
The audience is her gift to him
It’s a surprise

I’m Doing This for You fearlessly puts it all out there, scrutinizing the contortions in which we find ourselves in the name of eradicating our loneliness.

Inspired by some real events in Kitchener-Waterloo Canada, this part solo show, part improvisation and part surprise party, turns the romantic gesture on its head as a twisted history is revealed.
