For a good time, call Local Singles, the last surviving support group in Pittsburgh for lonely people. When Penny's boyfriend makes a rushed exit after learning about her pregnancy, she turns to the group for answers and walks away with something unexpected. Nick Navari's new pop-musical will make you laugh, then break your heart. You'll walk away with a song stuck in your head and the feeling that there is still some good left in the world. This performance will be the first time the musical is presented with a full cast and band as a part of Navari's residency at the New Hazlett Theater.
