Photos: First Look Of GROUP! At Passage Theatre Company

Passage Theatre Company is preparing for the world premiere of the new musical GROUP!, which explores the lives of six women who meet during therapy sessions.

The show, with lyrics by Eloise Govedare, music by Aleksandra M. Weil, and a book by Julia B. Rosenblatt, examines moments of fear, celebration, and everything in between as these women grapple with their mental health in the face of sobriety. Performances run from May 5 through May 22 at the Mill HIll Playhouse in Trenton, New Jersey.

Directed by Maria Patrice Amon, GROUP! Tells the story of five women from all walks of life who have been court ordered to attend group therapy. Jessica, a therapist assigned to facilitate the sessions, has never managed a group before.

Together, these six women from vastly different worlds come together to battle the great equalizer: addiction. As the women wonder who will make it through therapy, and if any of them will fall off the proverbial wagon, they become closer and learn to embrace the process.

The all-female cast includes Nicole Stacie as Sandra, Tamara Rodriguez as Ceci, Samantha Bruce as Victoria, Laura Turnbull as Dotty, Liz Barnett as Jessica, and Deja Fields as Everly.
