RELATIVE STRANGERS by Sheri Wilner (Summer 2022 Re-Release)

This week's summer re-release features RELATIVE STRANGERS, a bubbly comedic short from playwright Sheri Wilner (The Miracle of Chanukah, Cake Off, Kingdom City) about a young woman who, during a flight to South Carolina, decides the woman next to her just might be the mother she never had. She finds an ally in a wacky stewardess who, unlike the reluctant mother figure, thinks these two passengers are a match made in heaven.

Directed by founder, consulting director, and host Claudia Catania, RELATIVE STRANGERS features Tony Award recipient Julie Halston (You Can't Take It With You, Anything Goes, "Sex and the City"), actor, playwright, and composer Michael Keck (Fences, Voices in the Rain, Hollywood Scheherazade), Tony and Emmy Award winner Debra Monk (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, "The Gilded Age," "New Amsterdam"), and Merritt Wever ("Unbelievable," "Run," "Nurse Jackie").
