Were you hoping that having Jamie would fix me? Like completely? Like whatever the hormones do would just fill in all the gaps and connect the things that don’t connect and make my brain just – relax?

Or just having him, like holding him, that first second in the hospital, that something new would just click, and boom: normal?

Are you honestly still hoping that six months in, something might change?

“Examine[s] small-bore lives with compassion and detail. … There’s not a false moment in this drama. … It’s a testament to the depth of feeling in her writing — and the sensitive direction of Hal Brooks — that the play drew exceptionally good performances.” – Charles Isherwood, New York Times

New mom Maggie returns to her medical sales job, checking into an extended-stay hotel in Arizona as she pursues the commission that will get her out of debt and back on track. When she befriends two hotel employees intent on making her visit a five-star experience, they discover that their lives are all on similarly shaky ground. A funny and sharply observed play about hanging on when you’re at the end of your rope – and the times when letting go might be the most responsible thing to do.
