A masterful story that argues for hope.
Inside a cubicle in a small office in southern Idaho, two men find themselves bound together as they struggle to balance the confounding terms on a loan. Through the hardships and hilarities of parenthood, economic pressures and personal dreams, their evolving friendship becomes a profound exploration of human connection, faith and the search for meaning in everyday life.
“A mature, beautiful and overwhelmingly empathetic play that genuinely gives us perspectives we rarely get to see on stage.” — THEATERMANIA.COM
