"Live theatre is so important. At its best, you're in the moment with these characters. Though we can't exactly replace the experience of being with our audience in person, the film is true to the medium. It's intimate, simple, and heartfelt. We hope that those watching at home get a similar feeling as those who saw it on stage through the years."  - Samantha Macher

"What I love about this project is that Samantha's writing really connects with audiences on a universal level and our actresses bring the words to life with these phenomenal performances. I'm so excited that we're able to share that with audiences and spark some interesting conversations about how we all process heartbreak and relationships." - Laura Hunter Drago

Produced by Laura Hunter Drago, the cast includes performances from Charlotte Evelyn Williams, Lavetta Cannon, Mara Klein, Kelly L. Goodman, Laura Emily Castle, Samantha Carro, Leslie Simms, Skyler Vallo, Alexandra Boylan, and Dawn Noel.
