Directed by Brian Tom O'Connor, the play is being produced in association with The Drilling Company.

The cast includes Kendall Rileigh, Abigail Rose Solomon, Fabio Taliercio, Shara Ashley Zeiger and Maxwell Zener.

"One quiet Monday night, three neighborhood friends, and former grade school classmates, find themselves in a local drinking establishment," according to press notes. "There's Denise, a frustrated, 32-year-old virgin who's temporarily fled the home where she lives with her mother; April, an emotionally burned-out soul who drinks because she has nothing else; and Linda, a foxy lady with an easy reputation who has just been dumped by her boyfriend, Tony, a typical Italian stud, who now wants to date someone uglier because he thinks it will help him break out of his routine. As the women complain about their situations, under the watchful eye of bartender Murk — a fervent believer of all things status quo — they begin to hatch a plan whereby they can finally begin living their lives, instead of just existing in them. But it’s not long before the women's deeper needs for love and security begin to emerge, threatening to alter forever the life changes they are all desperately trying to achieve."

The production team includes Andrew Lu (set designer), Isabella F. Byrd (lighting designer) and Marcie A. Friedman (production stage manager).
