Nice Girl at Matrix Theatre

In suburban Massachusetts, 1984, thirty-seven-year-old Josephine Rosen has a dead-end job, still lives with her mother, and has settled into the uncomfortable comfort of an unintended spinsterhood. But when a chance flirtation with an old classmate and a new friendship at work give her hope for the possibility of change, she dusts off the Jane Fonda tapes and begins to take tentative steps towards a new life. A play about the tragedy and joy of figuring out who you are and letting go of who you were supposed to be. 

A tenderly drawn drama…NICE GIRL presents a slice of middle-class life with unpatronizing honesty and simplicity” —The New York Times.

Written by Melissa Ross and directed by Ann Bronston, the cast includes Anaïs Fairweather (Jo), Bailey Humiston (Sherry), Jeff Lorch* (Donny), and Susan Peahl* (Francine).
