By Sherry Kramer
Directed by Rosalind Faires 

Two women find that they have everything in common until the death of a brother drives them apart. Part stand-up comedy, part stand-up tragedy for two. The redhaired mythology that glorifies and empowers two women leads them into a big love, but can’t lead them safely out again. A play about the heaviness of the things we carry. 

Approximate run time: 1 hour and 40 minutes, with one intermission 
Suggested ages: 16+
