About the Project

Grief, cookies, and casual sex work — welcome to North Hollywood.

Todd is a middle-aged widower trapped in a haze of grief, cookies, and catastrophic horniness. After losing his wife in a school shooting, he crashes on the couch of his porn-star brother-in-law and OnlyFans mogul roommate, where orgasms echo through the walls and silence becomes unbearable. Desperate for relief — from guilt, from ghosts, from his own skin — Todd stumbles into an anonymous sex space in North Hollywood and meets Martha, a sex worker with a weathered purr and unexpected wisdom.

As Todd begins attending a ragtag grief group called Grief Bros, bonds form between wounded men with too much silence and not enough language. Alongside a fading alpha bro, a digital anarchist camgirl, a weed-slinging softboy, and a trucker carrying his dead daughter’s bedtime stories, Todd learns how to stop disappearing inside his pain — and maybe, how to live again.

Gloryhole is a raw, funny, and deeply human exploration of what happens after the unthinkable — and how healing might begin in the most unlikely of places. It’s a play about trauma, tenderness, and the long road toward letting go.
