Donovan and Marc Silvia give us a new play, “Ask Mrs. Honey B., Certified Life Coach” that sheds light on the complicated and often hilarious dynamic of
relationships. They’ve created a gregarious and personable character in Mrs.
Honey B. who is a former Home Economics teacher that has found her second
calling as a couple’s life coach. Donning a bright pink jacket, a bedazzled
coach whistle and a yellow pom-pom she roars onto the stage with all the gusto
of Tony Robbins. The show is staged as if you are attending one of Mrs. Honey
B’s motivational seminars and so be ready for her to throw a few questions your
way.
Over
the course of the play we learn that Mrs. Honey B. has decided that after years
of teaching and raising her own family that she wanted to take the “vast”
knowledge she garnered from that experience and use it to assist young couples to
find a happy balance in their relationships. She presents us with a complete PowerPoint
presentation of how to accomplish our “Full Life Flower” potential (insert
mockery of life coaching lingo that will have you holding your belly from
laughter). The real fun begins
when she brings out one of her real life couples to do a coaching session
on-stage. She explores those typical “roadblocks” that happen in relationships;
“Is a python an appropriate pet to have?”, “How much should the manicure budget
be?”, “How much is too much when it comes to stalking ex’s on Facebook?”, and “Why
don’t you dress in what I want you to wear?” Mrs. Honey B. uses visualization
to help Angie and Frank overcome their differences and find their “Full Life
Flower” potential.
Whether
you’re single or in a relationship you will be chuckling along with the rest of
the audience at the absurdity of what we sometimes allow to become “roadblocks”
in our lives.
