"Set in the suburbs outside of New York City," Girl's Room, press notes state, "centers on a young ballet dancer about to break into the big-time but has another kind of break — an accident that could end her career… in this charming new play about three generations of lively women and the lies that bind them together as well as the truths that tear them apart."

Playwright Fritz's work also includes First a Home, penned to raise awareness for the plight of the homeless. Girl's Room is the first fully realized staging to emerge from Queen's Theatre in the Park's Plays A Mother Would Love reading series.
