WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Three women seeking a Guru's grace are caught in a fanatic's quest for glory. A man's wife and sister accidentally force him into the path of a distracted driver on the day of his father's funeral. Two women waiting for their adoptive child to be born discover a disturbing truth about the birth mother. A man pursuing the love of a woman he barely knows must first fulfill her sisters' terrifying demand. Can four souls bound by lifetimes of mutually inflicted pain find peace? Yes, but not without a little stabbing.

Provoking Yet Fun!
This play is definitely well-written and the production is very nicely executed, especially for a small off-off broadway show. I would say, attend this if youre interested in seeing a show with a fresh topic seen rarely in theater.

Date night factor: High if youre actually interested in your date and want something fascinating to discuss!

In the first piece, Julie (Rachel Cornish) and Heather (Caitlin Talbot) meet in the waiting area outside of the inner sanctum of an unseen self-help guru. They are soon joined by Julie's friend Karen (Julie Cavaliere) and [...]
