Audition Dates: june 18 & 19
Show Dates: 9/30, 10/1-10/2 and 10/7 - 10/9
A New York City dinner party of disparate couples and singles gather in Blue Window for a poignant comedy of desires and misconnections as they struggle to face challenges independently and interdependently making us wonder: What do they have in common? This hilarious and human play illustrates the ways we mysteriously connect or disconnect to each other inside the uncertainty of our lives and the events that shape them.
"What Blue Window suggests with the evasiveness of its party chatter and the chill of its most searing monologue is that people are unknowable and life is made up of random pieces of a puzzle that don't fit together the way we think they should." - Newsday
