Straight Talk, written and directed by Jeff McMahon, was presented at Dixon Place in July 2010. The Dummy was built to sustain being beaten, kicked and dropped from a height of 15 feet several times over the course of the performance. She also performed several costume changes -- with help, of course. The play featured Grace Abbott, Salty Brine, Mikeah Earnest Jennings,  Alenka Kraigher,  Daniel Allen Nelson and Elina Zavala
