    I had the pleasure of being Quinn/Taylor in a production of this powerful piece. The characters are raw, real, and all uniquely related to the subject matter. This show is full of amazing roles for women, LGTBQ+ characters, and POC. It highlights the current issues passionately, while still remaining focused on the characters and relationships they have between each other and with themselves. Great script!

    Rachel is a really good writer. We produced this play at Stella Adler Studio of Acting NY in 2021. Great roles for women. Complex, beautifully drawn characters. A wonderful mix of humor and heartache. An uplifting story.

    A heartfelt peek inside the lives of three women on the road trip of life that brings a highly politicized issue to the human level that is needed to understand and empathize. It could easily be any one of us.
