A new comedy by Matt Murray

Directed by Mary Francis Moore

From the writer and director of MAGGIE THE MUSICAL

Hilarious, heartfelt, and a little bit off the rails—just like life.

Set in a Hamilton church basement, this whip-smart comedy brings together an unforgettable crew: a menopausal teacher desperate to stay relevant, a rough-around-the-edges church cleaner who tells it like it is, a Gen Z bartender with a chip on her shoulder, a heartbroken Winners sales clerk who knows too much about throw pillows, and a hockey-obsessed husband quietly wondering where his life went.

What starts as a simple time capsule project turns into a riotous ride of confessions, clashes, and unexpected connections.

Think Schitt’s Creek meets Welcome Back, Kotter—a feel-good, female-forward story about friendship, second chances, and finding meaning in the most unexpected places.
