Trying…getting pregnant should be sexy, right? (Well- at least there’s sex….right?) Maggie and Jamie have been on this rollercoaster ride for a while, but neither are prepared for the curves to come.  A staged reading of a wild, funny, poignant, twisty-turny, unpredictable play that brings home just how trying trying can be.

In a seemingly ordinary suburb, Ben and Mary welcome their new neighbors Sharon and Kenny for a friendly backyard barbecue. But as the charcoal heats up, so do tensions when they discover their new acquaintances met in rehab, are unemployed, and own nothing. What begins as neighborly hospitality quickly ignites into a dangerous exploration of middle-class anxiety and unfulfilled American dreams. "A sharp X-ray of the embattled American psyche" (The New York Times) and "tense, terrific, funny" (New York Observer), this Pulitzer Prize finalist "perfectly captures a certain pervasive lifestyle of today" with "cascading, hilarious monologues" (Time Out New York). Lisa D'Amour's bittersweet and explosive dark comedy rips up the floorboards of suburban life to reveal what's simmering beneath the surface. Fire up the grill... and expect fireworks.
