At 17, Meril and Jean are best friends who can finish each other's sentences. At 27 they are struggling to reconnect and make sense of their shared past. Moving fluidly across a decade of change, growth, divergent choices, immense love and deep hurt, playwright Sofya Levitsky-Weitz (a 2015 alum of Northwestern's MFA in Writing for the Stage & Screen) paints a portrait of the power of friendship, and the damage we can inflict on ourselves in the name of love, desire, and ambition.

Estimated run-time for this production is 1 hour and 35 minutes with no intermission. The Wirtz Center will no longer check proof of vaccination; however, masks will be required inside the theatre for performances.
