THIS Plays Kirk Douglas Theater, Previews Tonight

This by Melissa James Gibson is directed by Daniel Aukin

At the heart of "This" is Jane, a single mom in her late 30s who has shut down after her husband's death. Her good friends are determined to lift her out of her inertia with the warmth and love and humor of all their years together, but in the process everyone comes face to face with their own vulnerabilities and tries to make sense of unsettling transitions in life.
