ABOUT THE SHOW
Jane is not okay. She’s a promising poet without a muse, a single mother without lessons to pass along. Her life’s a shambles, and her helpful friends are only making things more complicated. This ‘un-romantic’ comedy is a superbly crafted portrait of a group of friends navigating the choppy waters of middle age. An Off-Broadway hit by Obie-winning playwright Melissa James Gibson, This explores with wit and grace the treacherous contours of being a grown-up.

Producing Partner: Robert & Christine Wester
