Overview
Baltimore/DC Premiere!
A mash-up of Thelma and Louise meets The Odd Couple, this hilarious, coming-of-age story about two middle-aged women from acclaimed playwright Jen Silverman took the Humana Festival of New American Plays by storm in 2015. When Sharon, a lonely Iowa divorcee, seeks a roommate and a change of pace in her quiet life, she meets Robyn, a mysterious vegan transplant from the Bronx whose secret past threatens to ignite Sharon's small world. Both women’s mismatched personalities and hidden talents erupt to reveal hysterical and inadvertent consequences.
Running Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes (no intermission)
