Described as a new musical comedy "about the fundamentals of big hair, blind faith, and just how plural a marriage can get," the show was penned by the founding members of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Brooklyn, Caitlin Davis and Elizabeth May.

The cast features Davis and May as well as Dave May and Lily Narbonne. Kaleigh Malloy is the director and musical director.

Missionary in Manhattan, according to press notes, is "the story of three polygamist pop stars. Sister Gretchen, Sister Fanny, and Sister Bunny Katherine, have found themselves abandoned by their brother husband in New York City. Their brother husband, Charles Gregory Howard, was last seen at the Cubby Hole with his vocal coach named Gerard. Ukuleles in tow, Gretchen, Fanny, and Bunny Catherine will turn pop songs into 'God songs,' lament, and stop at nothing to track down the father of their ten children. (The ladies might even ask audience members to babysit while they perform.)"

Running time is 45 minutes.
