Moonie

written and performed by STEFANI KUO

Directed by jisun kim

Moonie is 30 and has decided to go on dates with 100 men this year.

TODAY, SHE IS GOING ON HER 88TH!

And even though she’s wanted to give up, she didn’t. SHE HASN’T! Because if 8 is JUST lucky (date number 8 did not go so well), 88 八十八 is LUCKY LUCKY! AND HER TAIWANESE MOTHER WOULD NEVER HAVE FORGIVEN HER FOR GIVING IT UP!

Will Moonie find love on the 88th date?
Will her mother finally stop asking why she’s still single?!
And most importantly, will she finally find someone who wants a baby with her before her eggs die and, with it, her entire family line?!?
