Jayne, Jojo and Jelly get together ten years after the party that drove them apart. This time, the sisters go into the basement. They convene for a family crisis, and share an overwhelming need to be together again. It is an intimate and comic look at sisters and the surprising truths of middle age.

One woman has a thought and points to the sky while two women huddle listening in fear
3 women dressed in black are in distress as they try to escape one another but are tied together by pearls

Awards and Reviews

“Severn Thompson has taken over the roll of Jelly and brings to it a sense of Jelly’s quirky humour that is refreshing and poignant. ”

– Lynn Slotkin, The Slotkin Letter

“All three actresses portray sisters both relatable and neurotic, each in her own way. A fine fine show from three fine women. With the careers they have had, I would argue there is nothing “Girl”ish about them.”

– Winston Soon, Mooney on Theatre
