ABOUT ABOUT

After grad school, Catherine and Gwen chose polar opposite paths. Catherine built a career as a rockstar academic, while Gwen built a home with her husband and children. Decades later, unfulfilled in polar opposite ways, each woman covets the other's life, commencing a dangerous game of musical chairs—the prize being Gwen's husband. With searing insight and trademark wit, this comedy is an unflinching look at gender politics in the wake of 20th-century feminist ideals. A 2012 Pulitzer finalist.

 "There's nothing more enjoyable than watching super-smart characters make exceedingly dumb decisions, and seeing beautiful, brilliant Cathy entangled with Internet-porn-addicted pothead Don sets off an almost unbelievable chain of sometimes comic, mostly tragic events…Thoughtful, funny…One of the top ten plays of 2012." —Entertainment Weekly.

Featuring Jen Davis, Alana Barragan-Scott, Craig Yager, Kylee Mattoon, and Carol Estey. Carol appears with a special arrangement with Actors Equity.  Directed by Russ Scott.
