Oh Mary!

Oh Mary! at Fisher Theatre - MI

Friday night does not have to mean another predictable dinner. Oh, Mary! offers a far stranger plan: Cole Escola's fictional Mary Todd Lincoln, trapped by expectations and boiling over with forgotten ambitions. The joke works because the frustration feels recognizable, even while the character and the situations are deliberately absurd. Bring someone who enjoys laughing at the unexpected.

The one-act format keeps the outing centered on this single comic work. An 80-minute runtime with no intermission keeps the performance tight and focused, and the recommended age guidance of 14+ signals comedy that doesn't pull its punches. If you know someone who loves irreverent wit, political satire or theatrical takes on American history, this is the kind of show that sparks conversation long after the curtain. It's not reverential—it's reckless, and that's precisely the point.

Choose the Friday, February 26, 2027, performance at Fisher Theatre in Detroit, beginning at 7:30 PM. You can make the plan with someone already interested in the play or a companion who enjoys dark character comedy. The imagined First Lady gives you a particular subject to anticipate, with room to discuss the play's absurd approach afterward.
