When middle-aged Peter Mason comes home to help his aging father and younger brother bury their mother, the arrival of a woman of uncertain identity and intentions sends them all into a tailspin of confusion and misunderstandings that threaten to expose long-buried secrets, ultimately forcing Peter to make difficult choices in this quirky dramedy that explores the foibles and absurdities of family life, the nature of truth and the quest for faith.

Come with fellow alumni to the dramatic reading of Washer's dark, quirky comedy after which the audience provides feedback for the playwright to consider.
