From the producers of Where Within and The Show of Many Things comes the world premiere of this “humerus comedy.” An osteologist’s lecture goes awry when an unwitting audience volunteer refuses to participate in her demonstration. The Bone Lady tells the story of finding out what happens to you when you die, and gain a new appreciation for the ones that care for us after we’re gone. One bone lady. One unwilling participant. 30,000 skeletons.

“It’s rib-cracking! It’s spine chilling! It's a tale straight from my skull! ” says playwright Marie Sadd. “I wanted a show that confronted the concept of death and what comes after. And we’re not talking metaphysically here folks; what happens to your bones?! What better way to explore death than with comedy. Our skulls are always grinning afterall, and the scariest thing can often be the funniest.”

Majority of the team members for The Bone Lady are returning Fringe Veterans—past projects include 2025’s The Show of Many Things, a multi-award-nominated improvised immersive experience, 2024’s Where Within, a multi-award-nominated new musical, and 2023’s Valley of Light, an original musical.
