The Jeff Recommended, NNPN Rolling World production of  HERLAND has been extended to Saturday, April 20

After graduating from high school, Natalie (Simran Bal) gets a summer internship working for Jean (Kathleen Ruhl), her elderly neighbor, on a special project: creating a DIY retirement home for Jean and her two best friends. They set up shop inside Jean's garage, the former home of Jean's ex-husband's Bruce Springsteen cover band, and plan for the next chapter of their lives. Herland is a comedy about women growing up, growing old, and rocking out to the beat of their own drums. Playwright Grace McLeod, a UChicago graduate and the youngest playwright ever to partner with NNPN for a Rolling World Premiere, says that Herland 'highlights the necessity of creating space for women of all ages to find and use their voices. It challenges our perception of what a rockstar looks and sounds like.'
