It is 1790, and Mary Girard, wife of prolific Philadelphia philanthropist Stephen Girard, has awoke to find herself committed to the mental asylum of The Pennsylvania Hospital. How did she get here? How long must she stay? Why has her husband not come to have her released? Is it all a mistake, or is she truly insane? Join us on the inside where we find out more about her and those closest to her, as the tale unfolds of Mary…Polly Mary…Crazy Mary…Girard.

The first four performances of this show will be featured as a part of the 2019 Philadelphia Fringe Festival.
