A coming of a certain age comedy about an unexpected, transformative friendship between two distinctly different women. Being bad never felt so good in this riveting one-act about second acts.

“It’s a story about how we keep discovering who we are and what we need as we age and how vital and powerful and dangerous it is, in a good way, to listen to your instincts instead of listening to the voices that are telling us societally and culturally what we should be and how we should age.” – Jen Silverman

We are proud to partner with The King's English Bookshop, The Children's Service Society of Utah, and The Visual Art Institute for this production. The King's English Bookshop will be providing books and merchandise from Mo Willems for purchase at the theatre. We will also be collecting pajamas and feminine hygiene products for The Children's Service Society of Utah during the run of the show. SLAC's Green Room Gallery will feature art by students from The Visual Art Institute.
