Table Read Tuesdays celebrates PRIDE MONTH with
AND ALSO WITH YOU by Olivia Haller
June 24th at 6:30PM on ZOOM

Join us for AND ALSO WITH YOU, a heartwarming and award-winning pilot from Olivia Haller, 2024 Grand Prize Winner in Mystic Film Festival's 30 Minute Pilot Teleplay Competition.

Logline:
When a nice Catholic church lady comes out as bisexual in her 50s, her lesbian daughter reluctantly helps her re-enter the dating scene as the oldest baby queer in Cleveland.

About the Show:
Dawn, a more-than-middle-aged Midwestern woman working in her local Catholic church hall, is finally ready to explore a lifelong curiosity: kissing women. Her daughter, Cara, recently returned to Cleveland with her partner, has been out for years, but is far less prepared to help her mother navigate a new identity while managing her own struggles with purpose, faith, and past relationships.

In this warm, character-driven sitcom, each episode follows mother and daughter as they learn from each other — Dawn diving into queer culture for the first time, and Cara reconnecting with her own sense of meaning. AND ALSO WITH YOU is a cozy, comedic exploration of identity, family, and the ways we keep becoming ourselves at every age.

About the Writer:
Olivia Haller is a playwright and screenwriter whose work blends humor, heart, and complex family dynamics. AND ALSO WITH YOU earned top honors at the Mystic Film Festival for its rich characters, layered storytelling, and fresh perspective on queer identity across generations.
