THE SECOND STEVE

Minkie wants to be at the center of her family again. She’s not sure why her partner, the original Steve, has left or why her kids are so hard on her, but she believes if they open themselves to the idea of her new companion, the second Steve, things can go back to the way they used to be. Can you plug the holes in a family system? Who gets to change? And who is this second Steve?

THE SECOND STEVE

Recommended by

  • Christopher Cooper: THE SECOND STEVE

    Some of my favorite pieces of art are the ones that make me simultaneously laugh and cry - this play fits the bill. I had the pleasure of directing a staged reading of "The Second Steve" and throughout the rehearsal process, my cast and I were consistently struck by not only Jennifer Faletto's witty characters and clever dialogue, but also the play's larger themes of control, family, and centralization. I have not stopped thinking about this play and I look forward to seeing a fully realized production of this masterful work.
