Happy Birthday, Wanda June!

December 2 – December 6 2026

Penelope, widow of the legendary hero Harold Ryan, is attempting to move on with her life when her husband miraculously returns after eight years missing in the jungle.

Penelope Ryan is in a tough spot. Her husband, the legendary solider and millionare Harold Ryan, has been missing for eight years. Her son Paul swears he’s coming back. A hippie doctor and a vacuum cleaner salesman are fighting for her affection. And the literal ghosts of Harold’s past — a nazi, an alcoholic housewife, and little Wanda June — can’t seem to butt out. When Harold miraculously returns on his birthday, Penelope must decide between returning to normalcy or forging her own path.
