Orgasmico Theatre Company proudly presents Ice Cats, A Dead Mother Traumedy. Written and performed by Alli Miller-Fisher. Directed by Marissa Jaret Winokur. Produced by Chadd McMillan and Michael Shaw Fisher.

A eulogy turned into a comedy, or vice versa. This solo show delves into the processed and unprocessed emotions of loosing one’s mother. With her characteristic witty humor, Alli Miller-Fisher (CLUELESQUE, The Nightlesque Before Grinchmas) relates the emotional journey of dealing with her mom’s passing.

Cancer, with its ups and downs, becomes pretty intense. Loosing the battle is the end of a journey and the beginning of another one. For Alli, the second journey started with cleaning her mom’s house, where surprises were abundant. Mice, letters, bills, newspapers, you name it. Oh, and the cats. Frozen cats. Ice cats. Was mom waiting for a burial special?

The show combines black humor, tender memories, and even music thrown in the mix. The healing process might take time, but it’s a learning curve, exhausting, rewarding. The discovery of material things it’s also the discovery of hidden feelings that need to be addressed and come to terms with. The more the time advances, the more we understand our parents, in life, in grief, in healing.

Miller-Fisher presents a deeply personal and relatable account of her struggles coping with her loss, but in a funny and entertaining way. She pays tribute to the cherished memories with her mom, connecting with the audience instantly. Above all, her story reminds us that despite the pain, the show must go on.
