Abby is a hard worker. She dispatches her assignments with haste and accuracy. Deadly accuracy. You see, Abby is a hired assassin. You'd think that hard work and dedication would be enough to get a girl a promotion, but, turns out, an assassins' guild is just like any other damn job. Office politics are hell. Guys get paid more, even the screw-ups. And now Abby has a recruiting assignment that could spell her end.

A heartfelt thank you to our Kickstarter donors!
Over 100 people donated to us for our production of Carol's Christmas. We hit the goal, thanks to you! We are sincerely touched (and got a little weepy, we won't lie.) Thanks to you, our first two-act show was a huge success. Thanks to this success, we will be able to do another show.
We are honored and humbled to be part of such a supportive, vibrant community.

Pinky Swear is a theatre company that produces plays with bold, strong, engaging female characters. We are interested in new stories and new storytellers. Our productions are a little funny, a little dark, and a lot entertaining.
We hire women (both artists and technicians) whenever possible. We believe in a world where all theatre artists can make a living and do our best to bring that world to fruition.
Ultimately, we like plays where people talk to each other and things happen.

Maura Judkis delves into what makes Pinky Swear & our lady assassins tick.
Grammar matters in the title of Pinky Swear Productions’ newest play. As a verb, the “killing” in “Killing Women” is misogynistic snuff, but as an adjective, it creates murderesses.
“We certainly got a couple of people who were like, really? It’s sort of a play on words —killing women vs. killing women,” said Karen Lange, co-artistic director of Pinky Swear. “A lot of our audience, like our fans, recognize that we’re going to pick things that are a little edgy.” (more)
