Plays
New Year’s Eve, 2013: Charli XCX blaring, sparkly perhaps too short dresses, cheap champagne in solo cups and the anxiety-provoking hope that someone on other side of the bathroom door might like you - you know… like like you. But everything is fine and under control and there are no drinking problems or panic attacks or things beyond the grasp of a recently-graduated-still-living-with -her parents-twenty-something-year old.
A comedic exploration of what it is to love, lose, and choose life in the face of incalculable loss, The Great Divide is a darkly funny and heart-wrenching play starring writer/performer Amy Crossman and directed by Scott Ebersold.
