synopsis
A high school pot dealer abandons his prom night to crash the hotel-room reunion of three flight attendants (all old enough to be his mother). Booze is poured, herb is smoked, the room blurs, and futures, careers, and kindness snap sharply into focus. Keep your seat belt fastened as you’re certain to experience turbulence in Marisa Wegrzyn’s profoundly compassionate and fiercely witty play.
Directed by Annie Slivinski
Produced by Debi Gits-Joseph
Stage Manager Jack Smith
