This true story of two wildly different and tenacious young women fighting to answer the most infinite of life’s questions: How do you explain why we love? Why we die? Why we need to believe?

What They Say
“The authenticity of the two main characters cannot be merely attributed to the fact that Rush shares their stage of life; the playwright has a brilliant touch in re-creating the meandering thought process that goes along with this phase of intellectual development, and captures the emotions that ensue from the intense, unclassifiable bond that the two main characters share.”

DC List
“Paul-Douglas Michnewicz’s direction is refreshing and without fault throughout the eighty minute production. Ms. Fritzky and Ms. Woolley are delightful, entirely enveloped in their roles, they leave us with that nice feeling inside that comes from seeing a play that just feels right.”
