Emmy Award winner Sharon Gless ("Queer as Folk," "Burn Notice," "Nip/Tuck," "Cagney and Lacey") will star in the production, which "follows the real-life adventures of Jane Juska when she courageously decides, at 66 years old, to place a personal ad in The New York Review of Books, that reads, 'Before I turn 67, next March, I would like to have a lot of sex with a man I like. If you want to talk first, Trollope works for me...'"

Say executive artistic director of Z Space Lisa Steindler, "Z Space is thrilled to present the world premiere of this funny, painful, poignant play. The talents of our playwright Jane Prowse, our director Chris Smith, and such an incredible cast transform Juska's powerful real-life story to a live theater experience that audiences, young and old, male and female, won't want to miss."
