My Sweetest Baby Angel Princess

When NYC nightlife shuts down from the pandemic, bottle girl Dollie turns to online sex work to pay her rent. She stumbles into the lucrative world of adults who pretend to be children and it becomes an integral part of her brand. As the clubs reopen, Dollie must reacclimatize to the world, more changed by this disturbing internet content than she thought. My Sweetest Baby Angel Princess explores the nuances of sexuality, gendered sexual expectations, friendship, romance, and finances in a post-pandemic world.

My Sweetest Baby Angel Princess is a hilarious and heartbreaking 90-minute play. Vivienne directed and produced the Fall 2023 premiere as part of Fordham Theatre’s Studio Season. The production received the Fordham College at Lincoln Center Dean’s Senior Thesis Grant to supplement the show’s budget. The show completed a sold-out run on November 16, 2023.
