Jen Ponton (she/her)
(writer/performer, Sugarcoated)
Jen Ponton makes her triumphant return to the New York stage with Sugarcoated, her autobiographical solo show, in its New York premiere. Last seen off-Broadway in Halley Feiffer’s How To Make Friends and then Kill Them (Rattlestick, 2013), Jen has spent the past decade building a vibrant career in film and television. Highlights include Dietland, 30 Rock, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Orange is the New Black, Law & Order: SVU, and Blue Bloods, among many others. Jen also starred in Ash Christian’s Love on the Run, alongside Frances Fisher, Annaleigh Ashford, and Steve Howey. She has since appeared in Rebecca Miller’s She Came to Me and Todd Solondz’s Wiener-Dog, opposite Greta Gerwig and Kieran Culkin.
This is the NYC premiere of Sugarcoated, after its world premiere at 2024's Denver Fringe Festival, and an exclusive one-night-only performance at Masquerade Theatre in Riverside, NJ. jenponton.com

Deborah Unger (she/her)
(writer/performer, The Longer my Mother is Dead the More I Like Her)
Deborah Unger’s artistic journey has been as dynamic as it is enduring. She began her career with dreams of musical comedy stardom, crafting and performing cabaret shows in the vibrant Village scene. From there, she transitioned to film and television, debuting in Ragtime and continuing with roles in 911: Lone Star, FBI: Most Wanted, and her personal favorite, Olga, the Penguin’s Russian maid in Gotham. Her film credits include acclaimed projects such as Motherless Brooklyn, Eighth Grade, and the Oscar-winning Birdman.
Now, Deborah has returned to her theater roots with The Longer My Mother is Dead the More I Like Her, a deeply personal work 15 years in the making (with a healthy dose of self-therapy along the way). After its successful debut at the Spark Theatre Festival, Deborah brings this poignant and darkly funny piece to The Flea Theatre for its off-Broadway premiere. deborah-unger.com
