OVERPRINT written & directed by Madison’s very own Jan Levine Thal

Meredith is a widow who works a thankless job in the sinking publishing industry to support her two kids in college and her mother with dementia. The boss just hired a rainmaker who is likely to lay her off. Is the new guy attractive? Yes, dammit.  Is this a comedy? Of course!  It also features dancers, crime, and ugly flowers.

Cast:  Arko Bakshi, Colleen Murphy, James Rowe, Bryan Royston, Heidi Weitz, Sarah Whelan, Sara Wojtak.  Dancers: Laura Athas, Cynthia Bachhuber, Nicole Klaus, Pepper Williams

Choreographer: Heidi Hakseth
