When the youngest of the Magrath sisters, Babe, shoots her abusive husband all three siblings gather at the family home to examine matters of the heart. The Puzzle Piece production directed by Laura Heikkinen will be an honest telling of the story, relevant to this moment in time.

"It's exciting to discover the timelessness of this story, perhaps timeliness." says director Heikkinen, "It allows redefinition for what a "damsel in distress" looks like."

The Puzzle Piece cast features Lauren Alo, Kaitlyn Valor Bourque, and Allison Megroet as the Magrath sisters. They are joined by Steve Xander Carson, Joe Hamid, and Taylor Morrow. In addition to direction, set, sound, and costume design by Laura Heikkinen, the creative team is comprised of stage manager Shardai Davis, lighting design and technical director D.B. Schroeder, and company manager Sergio Mautone.
