    Warm and touching and insightful... while also being HILARIOUS. These women are so well written and distinctive. Leonard Madrid is a master of dialog and you can hear the musicality and rhythms of each of their voices as they come alive off the page. The comedy gallops along and doesn't let up until it brings you oh-so-satisfyingly to the end. Highly recommend!

    A road trip play. A family play. A comedy about loss and life and self-actualization. I had the pleasure of attending a reading of this play at the Colorado New Play Summit and laughed myself silly.
