About the production

It’s summer in New England and every weekend is another engagement party. One night, a woman’s drunken attempt to protect her best friend from the wrong match sets off a cascade of calamities in this dark comedy about ugly feelings in an age of beautiful self-images.

“Kimberly Senior has directed with sharpness and an ear for comedy.”
— Talkin' Broadway, Matthew Murray
“Kimberly Senior, who helms this production, knows how to move things along, and executes seamless transitions from one scene to the next.”
— CurtainUp, Deirdre Donovan
“It is a tidy and engaging play, well-written and well-executed (direction is by Kimberly Senior). Though literary allusions abound, the dialogue sounds natural, and the detours into inner-monolgue-land offer fun and funny diversions. (Also fun diversions: the on-stage dance parties during scene transitions.)”
— Reviewing the Drama
“There are some stunning gems in this play…the production itself is buoyed by the cast and director. You end up thinking about your own layered life and the ways in which you not only live it but present it.”
— Front Row Center, Tulis McCall
“Along the way we are treated to some terrific and imaginative staging by director Kimberly Senior, including several sharp and beautifully executed dance sequences by the cast.”
— Epoch Times, Diana Barth
