"Insignificant Others follows the romantic foibles of five friends–two gay men and three straight women–who move to San Francisco from the Midwest seeking love and adventure," explain press notes, "Beginning life as a staged reading in May of 2005 in San Francisco, Insignificant Others workshops caught the attention of The New Conservatory Theatre Center, where in July of 2006, it played to sold-out houses for five straight weekends.  ISO was awarded Best Original Musical Script by the Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle for 2006."

Under the direction of George Quick, the cast features local actors Lillian Askew, Erin Diamantides, Sarah Kathleen Farrell, Jason Hoover, Kevin Maldarelli, Justin Mckee and Andrew Sa. Additional cast members are Dane Paul Andres, Bobby Bryce, Mary Kalita and Alex Rodriguez.
