Book & Lyrics by Kara Hadden '23
Music by Sara Stebbins '24

It’s a lesbian tale as old as lesbian time: Jenny meets Jane. Jane floors Jenny. Jenny moves in with Jane after one gorgeous, wild night together. Jane runs a doll hospital. Jenny learns to repair dolls. Something happens to Jane (Sorry! No spoilers….). Jenny’s left to operate the hospital alone—well, alone if you don’t count the piles of broken dolls lying around, waiting to be fixed.

A dragged-up musical-in-progress about devotion, brokenness, and who we see as human, Jenny’s Doll Hospital explores just how much of ourselves we will (or should) sacrifice in order to heal the one we love. Join us for a staged reading of the first act as part of Kara Hadden’s Honors Project in Theatre. Book and Lyrics by Hadden; music by Sara Stebbins ’24.


The Theatre Department has accepted Honors projects proposed by our majors that will be undertaken during their senior year. These projects are as varied and unique in their form, content, and methodology as the student artists who are leading their creations. They will be presented at the end of the semester, and we will share additional details as the projects develop.
