The live event was held Saturday, July 25, 2020.

HUDSON STAGE zoom performance of a very short one-act by JOSHUA ALLEN (TV’s EMPIRE, upcoming NETFLIX: FROM SCRATCH and HBO’s In Treatment) addressing this moment in time. Lauren logs into Zoom, expecting a long-overdue catch-up with old friends from college. What she doesn’t expect is to confront a complicated, and possibly unresolved, relationship from her past.

“… the 90-minute play flew by in what seemed like half that time, a credit to director Margarett Perry and the very skillful cast.”

“Hudson Stage is a Westchester gem, proving that you don’t need to venture far from home or pay steep prices to see provocative professional theater.”
