THANGKS FOR NOTHIN by Abigail Browde delves into the lapses of memories of our daily lives and the beauty of the banality of putting on a play. This is a living catalog of things-done-badly, an examination of the overly and underly dramatic, and a exercise of learning through imitation. They are trying to improve, but in the meantime Marisa, Kate and Abby are only so-so.
