As they get to know each other, they find themselves searching for an answer to the same question: how do you know when you're ready to live, and love, again?

The cast features David Adkins as Jack and Kati Brazda as Lizzie. Adkin's MRT credits include The Outgoing Tide, The Seafarer (IRNE Award nomination), and Glengarry Glen Ross. He most recently appeared in Edward Albee's The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? at Berkshire Theatre Group and on the television shows "Evil" and "Madame Secretary." Brazda's credits include A Moon for the Misbegotten (understudy) on Broadway, as well as the Off-Broadway productions of The Effect and Our Town (director David Cromer) at Barrow Street Theatre and Bill W. and Dr. Bob at SoHo Playhouse.
