PLEASE TAKE A SEAT Premiers at San Diego Fringe Festival
"Five waiting rooms...one offbeat journey."
- It's fascinating, what you discover about people in a waiting room. Especially when things get awkward. Hannah's life is all about being in control...until it's not. A bit dark, a bit funny, and more than a bit compelling, come and take your seat for one offbeat journey.
"I'm excited to explore the themes in Please Take a Seat because they're major themes in my own life, said Jennifer Eve Thorne, director. "I often feel like I have to excel at so many things at the same time. But that's impossible. Working on a comedy that teaches me to laugh about the ways in which life often forces you to just sit down and wait is a welcome opportunity."
