The Secretaries chronicles the initiation of Patty Johnson as she lands the job of her dreams at the Cooney Lumber Mill in Big Bone, Oregon. But those dreams turn into bloody nightmares when she discovers that her coworkers are chainsaw-wielding lumberjack killers!
Amidst the campy carnage, this feminist satire skewers female stereotypes of the 80s and 90s while hilariously subverting sexist ideas of femininity. And while it was written more than two decades ago, The Secretaries remains startlingly fresh with regard to how little has changed in the last 20 years.

The Five Lesbian Brothers are Maureen Angelos, Babs Davy,
Dominique Dibbell, Peg Healey and Lisa Kron. They create
provocative lesbian theater for the masses through the fine
feminist art of collaboration. The Brothers came together as a
theater company in 1989 after performing together in various
other combinations at the OBIE Award-winning WOW Cafe Theatre.
Their repertoire includes four full-length plays, Voyage to
Lesbos, Brave Smiles, The Secretaries and Brides of the
Moon, as well as numerous event-specific showstopping acts.
The Brother’s plays have been produced Off-Broadway and Off-Off
Broadway and beyond by New York Theatre Workshop, The Joseph
Papp Public Theatre, the WOW Cafe Theatre, Downtown Art Company,
Performance Space 122, Dixon Place, La Mama, the Kitchen and the
Whitney Museum of American Art at Phillip Morris. They have
toured to London, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego,
Houston, Columbus, Seattle, Philadelphia, Boston and the deep
woods of Michigan. Their plays have also been produced by other
companies throughout the United States and, believe it or not,
in Zagreb, Croatia.
