Help Me Understand
Six women come to a consensus.
Here Today
Marge
Veteran comedy writer Charlie Berns, who is slowly but surely losing his grip on reality, befriends a talented young New York street singer Emma Payge. Together, they form an unlikely yet hilarious and touching friendship that kicks the generation gap aside and redefines the meaning of love and trust.
Our Lady of 121st Street
Sonia
In this hysterical and deeply moving play, a group of old friends find themselves at Harlem's Ortiz Funeral Home to mourn the death of a beloved nun from their childhood. But at the funeral home, trouble arises as Sister Rose’s body is stolen. Our Lady of 121st Street by Stephen Adly Guirgis paints an explosive picture of how old habits die hard as longtime friends reopen forgotten wounds.
Rediscovering Christmas
Clare
A talented department store window designer helps her sister design the decor for the annual Snowflake Festival Christmas Eve dance and clashes with the stubborn grandson of the founders of the festival.
Diane
Hostess
Diane is a devoted friend and caretaker, particularly to her drug-addicted son. But as those around her begin to drift away in the last quarter of her life, she is left to reckon with past choices and long-dormant memories.
Second Act
Big Ant
Maya, a 40-year-old woman struggling with frustrations from unfulfilled dreams. Until that is, she gets the chance to prove to Madison Avenue that street smarts are as valuable as book smarts, and that it is never too late for a second act.
