a phase
(World Premiere)
Written by Elise Spoerlein. Directed by Spenser Davis.
February 26 - March 26, 2016 at The Den Theatre.
Newly single after a break-up that caught her off-guard, Sam realizes that her now-ex-boyfriend of five years was the only guy she’d ever known… in the biblical sense. For so long, she had placed sex on a pedestal, only to now find herself alone. In a crappy apartment. In a new city. The key to breaking out and moving on? Kick over the pedestal. A PHASE is a hilarious World Premiere that takes the well-worn tropes of the “girl finds fulfillment in a man” story and flips them on their ear, as Sam explores sex as a way of regaining control of her life.
