Marrying George Clooney: Confessions from a Midlife Crisis

What happens when fantasy meets 50-something reality? Marrying George Clooney: Confessions from a Midlife Crisis is a sharp-witted, satirical play written by Amy Ferris and adapted from her best-selling memoir. Raw, humorous, and deeply relatable, the play explores the realities of aging, menopause, insomnia, family trauma, and self-discovery. The play follows a menopausal woman who is wide awake at 3 a.m., googling old boyfriends, sharing prescription drugs, sharing stories – and fantasies of what life would be like if she had married George Clooney. All that in addition to confronting the emotional weight of caring for a mother living with dementia, an estranged brother and a frisky hubby. Focused on “women of a certain age,” Marrying George Clooney serves as a rallying cry for women to embrace their inner turmoil, navigate life’s transitions with humor and honesty, and ultimately fall in love with themselves. Equal parts comedy and confession, this relatable and empowering performance reminds us that it’s never too late to rewrite the script of our lives.
