Living on the Moon

Molly most recently won The Outside Circle Theater Project the play, "The Downside"

“What we were looking for, we found in her play,” said Charlita Anderson-White, OCTP founder and advisory board chair. “It’s completely outside the realm of what we thought we were looking for. I didn’t consider someone would approach from an ageism perspective, but it fit perfectly. We were moved and touched by the conversations in this play.”

As an actress she had worked in theater in NYC and numerous Equity theaters throughout the country, as well as doing commercials and film before turning to playwriting.
