Dark Luna Productions presents the World Premiere AEA showcase of Pas-sage, a bitterly humorous and darkly funny new play about a couple whose success has left them with nothing to aspire to.

Logan and Wesley Broulik*. *Member, Actors' Equity Association

Booze, adultery, self-loathing and art. Where do you go but down after you sell a million copies of your autobiography and go on Oprah? In Pas-sage, a companion piece to Us vs. Them, we find ourselves dropping in with Howard, a failed writer, and Miranda, a has-been who has crawled inside the bottle to hide. We learn that affairs are not all they are cracked up to be and broken noses can seriously impair a person's sex life. Can they put aside their fears and views as artists to have a shot at happiness?
