MJ dives headfirst into a chaotic and destructive romance with alcohol, driven by a deep need for validation. As her nights spiral and the blackouts escalate, the stories she collects become her legacy – memorable to others, but hazy or even non-existent to herself. Join Michelle Renee Johnson as she takes us into these dark and sometimes dangerous moments, leaving us to question: is it better to be remembered, even if the memories are unflattering? Or is it best to fade into obscurity? Directed by O'Neill finalist, Lila Rachel Becker.

About the show

Extra Dry is a 60-minute dark comedy and new writing piece performed by Michelle Renee Johnson, produced by A/Park Productions, at the Willow Studio. The show follows MJ as she dives headfirst into a chaotic and destructive romance with alcohol, driven by a deep need for validation. As nights spiral and blackouts escalate, the stories she collects become her legacy — memorable to others but hazy or non-existent to herself. The show is directed by O'Neill finalist Lila Rachel Becker and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.

Why see this show?

A solo performer takes us into dark, sometimes dangerous nights and asks a question that lingers long after the show ends: is it better to be remembered, even unflattering, or to fade into obscurity? Sharp, honest new writing directed by an O'Neill finalist.
