I still have to finish the ending, but in ten days, this should be all set to go:

No reservations required
Unemployed, overambitious, and verging on thirty, siblings Liz and Rob vow to build themselves brighter futures. Now if they only knew what that meant. But last one night, they discover something that may just give them the direction they need to finally grow up. A comedic journey through the odyssey years.

The June Anne Baker Prize, established by PlayGround supporter John H. Gilman in memory of his late wife, honors the top female playwright each year, representing a gifted new comedic or political voice for the stage, and includes a full-length play commission. Lauren Yee wrote Crevice as the 2008 prize winner.
