NOTES
This show contains sexual situations.
This solo performance play began as a class assignment for Tracys Dramatic Writing MFA program at Carnegie Mellon University. It was credited as a play that students remembered from last year.
When asked if this play was inspired by Tracys life, she replied, "I mean, the protagonists name is Kelly and mine is Tracy, so obviously its not about me. Also, I was 35 when I started dating again and this character is like 30."
