Here's how it's billed: "On election night, the son of a Presidential candidate sends his father’s political team into crisis mode when controversial photos of him at a college party spread over the internet, potentially sparking an international incident. Smart and timely, Shinn's searching new play examines religion, freedom of expression, and personal responsibility."

According to the Huntington, "After grad school, Catherine pursued a career as a rockstar feminist academic, while Gwen built a home with her husband and children. Decades later, each friend covets the other's life. This new comedy takes a deep look at family, career, romance, and the decisions that define a life."
