In a crumbling prewar apartment building, Babette is writing her masterpiece. Theo is composing his symphony. Frank is practicing his tongue twisters. Welcome to New York.

Thrown together by a mutual friend/lover/loan shark, Babette, Theo, and Frank struggle to make sense of a world that is threatening to pass them by. Eviction notices, randy octogenarians, sparring couples, and flying toast collide in Obie-winner Melissa James Gibson’s mordantly funny and unexpectedly moving snapshot of urban life.

[sic] is directed by David Matheson (Bluebeard – Fringe Patrons’ Pick) and features Fringe veterans Rob Bird (The Rake’s Progress – Next Stage Festival), Sarah Dineen (Rule of Thumb – NOW Magazine Best Ensemble), and Daniel Krolik (In Trousers – NOW Magazine Artist to Watch).

"a verbally dexterous and neurotically wise comedy...the most alluring new play to open in New York this season." - The New York Times
