Press from our previous show “Are We There Yet?” “ Are We There Yet? Was inspired by encounters on New York subways, and American performers Christine Witmer and Nora Woolley created an irreverent, fragmented story that riffed on divorce, terrorism and urban alienation.” --Straits Times (Singapore) “…very enjoyable, mostly because of their brash spirit of fun even when dipping their toes into the angst and esotericism typical of certain fringe shows.” -Straits Times (Singapore)

About the company
Christine Witmer and Nora Woolley have collaborated on film and theatre projects since 2005. The duo is committed to exploring risky storytelling in order to create works that move beyond 'comfortable'. Their first play Are We There Yet? premiered in 2007 at Singapore’s Initiation International Theatre Festival. They conceived of and filmed Selling Splitsville as a series of webisodes before adapting it for the stage. Witmer and Woolley are two-thirds of the comic writing trio, Altinas, currently at work on a television pilot.

Project History
Originally conceived of and filmed as a webisode series, this dark comedy rips the proverbial band-aid off of divorce in America by focusing on the unspoken personal and financial impact it has on families. An excerpt of Selling Splitsville was performed at the Brick Theatre’s Antidepressant Festival in June 2009.
