2 HOPEFUL SPINSTERS announces the Dayton premiere of their upcoming comedic web series. The screening will take place on Wednesday, June 12 at 8:00 p.m. at Wiley’s Comedy Club, 101 Pine St  Dayton, OH 45402, (937) 224-5653.  The doors open at 7:30pm for an 8:00 pm show.  Admission is FREE. Reservations can be made on the website http://2hopefulspinstersdayton.eventbrite.com or by calling Kurt Olt at (937) 776-7647.

2 HOPEFUL SPINSTERS is an original web series created by, produced by and starring Heather Olt and 2HS Baking PhotoDellany Peace, two real-life happy (GASP!), single ladies living in L.A.  Inspired by society’s “norms,” a few offhanded comments from friends and family and the constant stigma of “spinsterness” hanging over their heads, the series is a little bit “Thelma & Louise,” a little bit ADHD and 100 percent “crazy/real.”  Their pilot episode marks the jumping off point for 2HS’s mission statement to redefine the word spinster by blowing up every myth and double-standard that lies in their path.

2HS had their Hollywood Premiere on May 1st, 2013 at the world famous Arclight Hollywood Cinemas where a sold-out crowd, including co-star Michael Madsen, joined them as they embarked on their sometimes humiliating, occasionally time-bending and always empowering adventures of self- introspection and societal experimentation to shatter the glass ceiling that still tries to hold them back.

They are currently in pre-production for their Season One Finale which will feature fellow Daytonian Allison Janney.
