The Moving Target production will play at the Schaeberle Studio Theatre at Pace University, 41 Park Row, 12th Floor.

The play concerns husband and wife Ford and Ally, whose love is tested when Ally is diagnosed with breast cancer. After a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation, the couple are emotionally shaken—particularly in the bedroom. Determined to reclaim their former sex life, they stock up on iced champagne and Egyptian love oil. In the process, their bare themselves not only physically, but psychologically.

The staging will feature nudity and frank sexual situations.
