In Glaudini's new play, press notes state, "cops, rappers, dealers, teachers, hustlers, husbands and wives dwell in the rhythms of rap, raw humor, aphasic staccato and live jazz."

The design team includes scenic designer David Korins, costume designer Mimi O'Donnell, lighting designer Japhy Weideman and sound designer Bart Fasbender.

Show times are Tuesday and Sunday at 7 PM, Wednesday-Saturday at 8 PM and Saturday and Sunday at 2 PM.
