Looking for the Pony plot synopsis 1

The play features two 'step' sisters; when the play opens we find them confronted by life changing opportunities/challenges. One sister, the younger has the opportunity to realise a deeply held dream to become a writer by being offered a half scholarship to study with a famous writer and teacher.

The elder sister finds a lump in her breast. The two women travel their paths together even though they live on opposite sides of the continent. In the process they realise and heal old wounds and come to new understandings. The dialogue is witty and fast paced, and the action, which spans three years, never drags. We see the women also deal with the incidental characters, doctors and clients, teachers and fellow students, who affect their lives and their decisions.

The pony in the title refers to the fable of two children who always look for the bright side of any situation. In a roomful of manure they can be found looking for the pony!

Looking for the Pony plot synopsis 2

Looking for the Pony by Andrea Lepcio was first presented in a "Rolling World Premiere" Off-Broadway at Vital Theatre Company in New York City in 2009. Since then it has been performed across the United States always receiving excellent reviews. Described by reviewer Martin Denton as a “wise, gorgeous and moving play”, it tells the story of two smart loving women and the (sometimes metaphorical) places they go during three impossible years in which one of them battles cancer, while the other shifts from a well-paying career in finance to her true vocation as a writer. It is a tale of two life journeys, characterized by hope and fear and pain and passion. (Martin Denton review 2009).

This production, directed by Annette Hallett, will showcase the talents of two young women, Silvia Schneegans and Bethany Skipper as Eloise and Bethany. Everyone else in Looking for the Pony— doctors, nurses, cancer patients, rabbis, etc.—will be portrayed by a small team of dedicated actors who will change costume and personality throughout the play with remarkable agility.

Come to this play prepared to laugh and to maybe cry a little; either way, do not forget your tissues!
