Acclaimed writer Molly Smith Metzler ('Shameless', 'Orange is the New Black', and 'Maid') brings us a new comedy about the challenges of parenthood. This heart-warming comedy finds divergent and new young mothers who strike up a friendship during precious nap time. The comedy takes a sharp and honest look at the power of friendship, the paradox of working motherhood, and the effects that economic and social class have on parenthood in the United States.
Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois.
World premiere in the 2017 Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville.
