Tony Award winning actress Alice Ripley (Next To Normal) will star in new film, The Pink Unicorn, based on the play of the same name by Elise Forier Edie.

Produced by Just One More Productions and direct by Amy E. Jones, Ripley previously starred in Out of the Box Theatrics’ critically acclaimed Off-Broadway production of the play in 2019. She then went on to star in a developmental production in August 2019 and Holmdel Theatre Company’s production in January 2020.

Trisha Lee (Ripley) is a Christian widow living in a conservative Texas town. Her life is suddenly upended when her 14-year-old daughter Jolene announces she is “genderqueer” and starting a chapter of the Gay and Straight Alliance at the local high school. Trisha recounts her story about facing a crisis she never saw coming, at a time when transgender people and gender issues weren’t even on her radar.

The film is currently in pre-production, with filming commencing next month. Release information will be announced in due course.
