theAtrainplays, a theatre-without-a-net writing/composing/directing/acting experience, had its 22nd incredible incarnation June 20th, with an all-star cast.

Just opened for a limited engagement as part of the Frigid Festival, We Call Her Benny is a careening roller-coaster of wit, passion and alternative life choices.
