Synopsis:
it's 1942. Oberon Play House’s director and leading men are off at war.
Determined to press on, the director’s wife sets out to produce an
all-female version of Shakespeare’s Henry V, assembling an increasingly
unexpected team united in desire, if not actual theater experience.
Together they deliver a delightful celebration of collaboration and
persistence when the show must go on! A surprisingly modern and moving
comedy about the singular way art and community reveal our boldest selves
even in the darkest times.

untested director and who plays The Chorus in Henry V. She is sweet,
dedicated, and desperate to keep the theatre alive.
