Loose Knit

Written by Theresa Rebeck
Directed by Michelle Felten
Playwright’s Theatre - Shasta Hall

Synopsis: An edgy, humorous and modern portrayal of five diverse women as they navigate their way through life and all its trials and tribulations. The women, through a weekly knitting group, develop a bond that is reminiscent of “Sex and the City,” while metaphorically and literally “stitching” their way through the joys and disappointments of getting older, finding love and discovering happiness.
