After grad school, Catherine and Gwen chose polar opposite paths. Catherine build a career as a rockstar academic, while Gwen build a home with her husband and children. Decades later, unfulfilled in opposite ways, each woman covets the other’s life, commencing a dangerous game of musical chairs. With searing insight and trademark wit, this comedy in an unflinching look at gender politics in the wake of 20th-century feminist ideals.

Available Roles

Catherine Croll: (40s) successful and respected academic teaching Women’s Studies in a New York City university, high-powered, assertive, emotionally fragile at times, at a crossroads in her life, which makes her somewhat desperate.

Gwen Harper: (40s) Catherine’s friend and former room-mate from graduate school, has two children, one of whom she dotes on, unfulfilled in her marriage, frustrated with her husband, recently sober, her eccentricities belie her desperation.

Don Harper: (40s) Catherine’s former beau and Gwen’s husband, stuck in his career as a Dean at a small New England liberal arts college, doesn’t feel he deserves or is capable of more, lacks the motivation to take action, he’s sexy, smart, charming and passive.

Alice Croll: (60s) Catherine’s mother, who recently had a heart attack but is probably very healthy, determined, pragmatic, her sense of humor keeps her afloat, adores her daughter, has seen it all and, although often astonished but what she sees, enjoys the view.

Avery: (S20s) college student, very smart, sassy, tells it like it is, a truly “liberated” young woman, though surprisingly naive in some respects, often the voice of reason and has the clearest insight amidst the three mature adults going through their mid-life crises.
