Something is not quite right with Donna: She's a loving mother, a devoted wife, and a minor celebrity to all the bake sale planners in town--but something is making her spacey, and she's not sure what it is. Therapy is out of the question--and church isn't the place to share one's distress. Donna will need to pass through space and through time--all the while listening to an unlikely voice--and try to break free from her gravitational pull to learn just how she can land!

Donna Orbits the Moon received its world premiere at the New Jersey Repertory Company, Long Branch, New Jersey; SuzAnne Barabas, Artistic Director; Gabor Barabas, Executive Producer; and was developed in Passage’s Playwrights Lab, of which Ian August is a founding member. 

"August has done well in tailoring a script for each one of Gallo's considerable talents. He also does excellent at dropping clues that pay off later"  Star Ledger

"It's an intimate story of a very average woman's journey to the edge of madness and back, brilliantly played by Andrea Gallo and tenderly penned by Ian August" Currents Magazine

"This is a play that discovers and ceebrates the cracks in the facade, the unknowable in the ordinary, the humanity in the humble." NYTheatre.com

"Tightly scripted 'Donna' defies gravity. 'Donna Orbits the Moon' is a seamless, well-written jewel that blasts off at NJ Rep." Highland Park Mirror"
