At the center is 35 year old Dasha (MaryKate Glenn), Mishaʼs sensitive but ruthless daughter. Dasha is pregnant and caught in a love triangle between a family friend and the father of her child. As secrets surface, Dasha finds herself torn between her loyalty to her famto her family and the terrifying possibility of truly growing up. *This production is made possible in part by PM Theater, resident company, licensed by Chashama*
