About: Having recently heard the script in its first public staged reading, I am excited to integrate what I learned about it into a new draft. Funny that as calm and as supportive a setting as I suspect Gillespie House is will be perfect for crafting the chaos of my comedy.

Upcoming: Madeleine is part of CB Pro’s House sketch troupe called Tik Tok Boom. You can see their monthly marquee sketch revue at Comedy Bar Danforth. She is also developing new plays with Unwrap Theatre and through The Capitol Theatre’s Creators Unit. www.thatmadeleinebrown.com

About the Play: Picture Day

It’s picture day at an elementary school, but when the school photographer doesn’t show up, a principal’s lie cascades into a series of disasters, as this brand new farce reaches hilarious heights.
