Molly is returning to Trinity Rep to continue her work as an Understudy for the World Premiere of Cold War Choir Practice by Ro Reddick September 4 - October 5, 2025.

A Genre-Defying World Premiere 

It’s twilight in Ronald Reagan’s America and the specter of nuclear war hangs over the country—but rent is still due on the 1st. When a prominent Black conservative brings his mysteriously ill wife home for the holidays, the unplanned reunion sets long-simmering tensions within the family to boil—and throws each member into a bizarre maze of Reaganomics, Cold War espionage, capitalist cult predation, and… choir practice. Featuring original music and set in the mesmerizing ambiance of a retro roller-skating rink, Cold War Choir Practice celebrates the lengths we go to for those we love.
