2 Male 6 Female

A working class drama in the tradition of Clifford Odets, Arthur Miller, Arnold Wesker and John Osborne

In 1960 Brooklyn, the Muscolinos have raised three proud and passionate daughters

But as the girls come of age in a rapidly changing world, their paths diverge from their parents' deeply traditional values

In drastic and devastating ways

Despite their fierce love, each young woman harbors a secret longing that - if revealed - could tear the family apart

When an earth-shattering event rocks their Park Slope neighborhood, life comes to a screeching halt and the Muscolino sisters are forced to confront their conflicting visions for the future

A gripping, provocative portrait of love in all its danger and beauty offering particularly strong roles for women
