Events Clean Up Woman with fred Hammond

Get ready to see why they call JD Lawrence the King of Dramedy. Telly Award winner JD Lawrence returns with his new stage play “The Clean Up Woman.” Momma always said, “Never let another woman sit on your bed and never let her clean your house.” Journalist Terri Adams pushes aside her newlywed domestic apron for a six figure anchor job with WNY5. When Terri starts neglecting home for her new position, her supportive husband comes to his wits end and demands she clean up her act, starting with the house. To keep the peace, her man and her job, Terri hires a local cleaning service recommended by a co-worker. If not careful, she just might find “The Clean Up Woman” picking up more than she’s supposed to. JD Lawrence brings out all the bells and whistles in this witty, fast-paced dramedy that will have you rolling in the aisle.

LOCATION: The Beacon Theatre 2124 Broadway between West 74th and 75t
