Production History

Four longtime college friends gather at a secluded cabin for their annual reunion. Now in their sixties, they expect a weekend of familiar stories, comfortable routines, and candid conversation. Then one arrives with an abandoned infant, turning their getaway into an unexpected debate about motherhood, responsibility, and what their futures might still hold. Steve Duprey’s comedy explores enduring friendship and the possibilities of reinvention later in life. Terry Veal directed CST’s production, presented in ten performances over three weekends. Jennifer Howard made her CST debut, while Toby Tobin and Shawn Witcher returned to the theatre after decades away.
