The Ballad of Elaine, As Told by Pickle Jane ( a reading ) | Pickle Jane and Elaine are ride-or-die best friends—but friendship this deep means dealing with baggage.

Pickle Jane and Elaine are ride-or-die best friends—but friendship this deep means dealing with baggage. (We’re talking hoarders and hangovers, a faceless sub of a billionaire, ancestor flashmobs…) Now, Pickle Jane wants you in the front row of their drama, and maybe even on call as Elaine’s next lifeline for when things go sideways (they will). The Ballad of Elaine, As Told by Pickle Jane reckons with the seismic power—and peril—of female friendship and who gets the privilege to tell her story.

MELODY | Just some random ex-theater kid who decided that once a year he’s gonna subject his friends to a one-night only staging of a musical.

Melody is just some random ex-theater kid who decided that once a year he’s gonna subject his friends to a one-night only staging and production of a musical. This is actually a front for stroking his ego and hearing things like “wow Melody you should have been a director” and “damn the NYC theater community lost when you decided not to pursue this professionally”.
