JUST BETWEEN THE ALL OF US
SHOW INFO
Dr. Madeline Owens has just won a big award at her hospital, but she realizes something: former award recipients are all either married men or single women (and she’s not even dating). Determined to prove that a woman can indeed have a successful career and a family life, she launches herself into a whirlwind hunt for a picture-perfect date to bring to the awards gala. Madeline asks the audience to narrow down her four romantic prospects in the style of a grown-up “choose-your-own-adventure” story.
Following rave reviews after 2 Industry presentations in February, the creative team is regrouping to explore a future New York run. We will keep you posted.
