About The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow

Synopsis:
Jennifer is just an average girl who re-engineers obsolete missile components for the U.S. Army from her bedroom. When she decides to meet her birth mother in China, she uses her technological genius to devise a new form of human contact. Rolin Jones’ irreverent “techno-comedy” chronicles one brilliant woman’s quest to determine her heritage and face her fears with the help of a Mormon missionary, a pizza delivery guy, and her astounding creation called Jenny Chow. Winner of a 2006 Obie Award.

 
“Fantastical and funny…a heartbreaking study of a wounded and abandoned bird who finds refuge, strength and empowerment through her cyber-connections with the outside world…captures the speed, strain and surreality of a serious mental illness…reveals a lost child in a techno-world who is cracking up under the parental pressure of being the perfect girl.” —Variety.


“Explosively energetic and touching…original wide-awake script…[a] hilarious evening.” —San Diego Union-Tribune.
