This original-unauthorized and unparalleled-one-ish woman musical is written and directed by Lauren Laws with music by Johnny C. Leavitt and choreography by Cassie Austin. Starring Deanna Giulietti, a lifelong performer across multiple mediums, as Barbara (and Jack Shapiro as Kenneth) with additional surprise guests to be announced.
