Group; or Marlene is Dead, by Sofia Molimbi, is not your typical parenthood comedy. Set in modern day, Portland, Oregon, “Group” follows the lives of five parents and two professors, who are all desperate to salvage their rocky home lives. Professor Marlene’s parenting class becomes an incubator that either kills you or saves you. Structurally, the play moves swiftly from past to present, and back again, creating bitter sweet moments and a deeper level of understanding how we got "here.” This fast-paced tragicomedy is an honest portrayal of the struggles of relationships, divorce, fertility, and motherhood.
