We are pleased to support this play! It was a Finalist for the 2023 New Works Festival at Kitchen Dog Theater in Dallas, Texas.

This is an exquisite exploration of lesbian culture and history (specifically) as well as key dynamics in queer culture (in general). Namely--questions of assimilation vs. standing out, tradition vs. progress, and the intersection of new understandings about gender and sexuality with old ideas that once felt empowering and important but that are being brought into question. Cotter manages to examine so many huge issues by putting 12 eclectic and well-defined lives under a microscope. I'd so love to see this in a full production onstage.

Ms. Cotter has written a deeply funny and moving play featuring characters not often seen onstage. This is a bold play with great parts for six actresses. It would be ideal for a resident company. Excellent work.

A fantastic story of love, debate and unknowingly making history through the ups and downs of it all. Well done.

We were so proud to produce the World Premiere of this charming play. The script conveys an extremely important message about identity, tolerance, and growth in an inviting and enjoyable way that challenged our audience’s pre-conceived notions. The show sold out every night and was one of the greatest successes we’ve ever seen in our Sandbox Series. We know that our first production will surely not be this play’s last. Any theater would be lucky to have such a piece in their Season.

Wow! I am in love with this play, and I want to move in with it tonight! From the 1950s to 2015 there are seismic shifts that register experientially now thanks to this play. The inklings of potential matches are so hot, so wished for, I could not put this play down for a moment. I also loved the use of music and who can resist a wet tshirt contest? I would love to see this staged! Kudos!
