"Very polished production" "A well crafted inaugural production"
The Distance takes a shockingly funny and wry look at the love lives of three young professional women today - their hopes and ambitions, their confusing relationships, and their children.
This funny, dark, witty, and perceptive comedy explores the meaning of a lifelong commitment –
