Cindy of Arc is a comedy and rock music extravaganza about the problem men have with lying and where that's gotten the rest of us, particularly women. And Jews. Think American Utopia with expletives, politics, religion, dogs, cannibals, no David Byrne, and no Utopia. And it's a comedy. And we wear our shoes. Brought to you by award-winning writer, musician, and comedian Cynthia Kaplan and three musicians named Mike. Cindy of Arc was a finalist for the 2023 Richard Rodgers Award for Musical Theater and opened Seattle's Intiman Theatre's 50th anniversary season. It has also been presented by NYC's Dixon Place, Baltimore Theatre Project, and The Bitter End.

Brilliant and blistering... a special blend of the poppiest of Jello Biafra and Mojo Nixon’s Prairie Home Invasion political satire cuts, folded into Lauren Weedman’s comedic musical commentary whipped with the stalwart feminist political devotion of The Raging Grannies.

...A thoughtful, intelligent, and laugh-out-loud event... That stage is her bully pulpit and she knows it, making use of every square inch, every spotlight, every applause, and every chance she’s given to exercise her voice (and) demonstrate her deep talents.
-Maryland Theatre Guide

Hilarious...Like many great comics of yesteryear (Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor come to mind), Kaplan does good things with bad words...The show gave me early 90’s riot grrl political anarcho-punk folk meets Violent Femmes-style pop-rock.

Raucously successful...A one-woman rock-n-roll tour through human history, mythology, literature, and more.

Cynthia Kaplan is the funniest, funkiest white girl I've seen.

Witty, angry, sparkling...Transcendence happens.
