"Wherever I go, east, north or west,
I'm finding something else I've messed.
And all I know is that I'm stressed!"

For Alex, it's school. For Josh, it's his girlfriend. For Carmen, it's dealing with her coach. And Mindy's frustrated with her parents. Stress is driving this quartet crazy - so much so they can't stop talking about it.

This play is a symphony of sound and character.

A challenging but incredibly fun piece.
