Everyone's had a few jobs--Mary Ann's had 51! She wrote this original one woman musical comedy to come to terms with this fact. Mary Ann plays herself, wearing the many masks it takes to smoke that job interview; master myriad menus, quit, and then start all over! She narrates her own failures, meltdowns, and comebacks with chutzpah and comic timing. Mary Ann's alter ego, Mabo Jones (pronounced MAH-boh) pushes Mabo front and center, stealing Mary Ann's show with her musical flair. She sings, dances and interacts with the audience. These two face off in a hilarious death scene climax. Mabo wants passion, love and to be worshipped. Mary Ann wants to pay the bills. Come and see who wins!
Fresh from this year's Women on the Way Festival presented by Footloose, "51 & Counting" was chosen by artistic director Mary Alice Fry for its potential to fulfill the company's mission: Move Mary Ann from her day job and into a professional, theatrical career.

Mary Ann Boyd spent 2005-2007 in "Menopause the Musical" at Seattle's ACT Theatre, playing both the Earth Mother or Power Woman roles. She finally got her Equity card! Other roles over the years in Seattle include, Ronette in "Little Shop of Horrors;" Nancy Reagan in the original musical "Loose Canons;" Mrs. White in a musical based on the game Clue; Joanne in "Godspell;" Isobel in "Pirates of Penzance;" and Mickie the cop in "The Female Odd Couple;" She also wrote and performed sketch comedy with Chicagoland's "Gag Reflex," and was a founding member of San Francisco's own all- female acapela group "Screaming Divas" from 1990-1996.

"51 & Counting" was incubated in a solo performance workshop and then hatched as part of 2002's Mae West Fest in Seattle. Mary Ann's alter ego in the show Mabo Jones (pronounced MAW-boh), first stepped on stage as an emcee, and has been invited back for four of Mary Ann's solo shows. Mabo's work with Mary Ann, though painful, continues to inform where "51 & Counting" is going.
