    What would happen if Beckett wrote for The L Word?
    Olexandra's marriage has just imploded and Jill's body is betraying her. Each woman is running from the very thing she must confront. In SAD MAD GLAD BAD these two strangers find themselves trapped on a stage with an audience in a wildly theatrical duet about the making of love, self and art.

    About NPTC's Women's Work Project
    Created in 1994 as a Residency program, NPTC’s award-winning Women's Work Project was expanded last year to a Lab setting, increasing the number of participating writers and developing both short and full-length plays.  The new LAB was successfully launched with Girl Power!, a one-week festival last August of seven short plays written to that theme by the first group of writers. Four of the seven writers have continued on with full-length scripts; NPTC is providing dramaturgical and directorial support through an extensive workshop process that takes the plays beyond staged readings and puts them on their feet in a limited run production or, Off the Page!
