I spoke with its director, Allison Studiford, about what the audience can expect.

Think Steel Magnolias meets Golden Girls meets Chosen Family.

Oh, I'm in now.

It's heartwarming.

Everybody's been a little broken and then gets little by little.

Why do you think it's important to have a story where middle-aged women are the centerpiece?
