"Everyone who comes into a hospital is forced to wait; Malcolm and Aisha are no different. As they await the results of a pregnancy evaluation, Malcolm and Aisha's decision whether or not to bring a life into this world escalates past the point of no return. As people file in-and-out from every walk of life, and every corner of crazy, they unknowingly have a resounding impact on our young couple's decision, and maybe on the rest of their lives."

The Festival, with a goal of becoming a launching pad for regional, Off-Broadway, and Broadway transfers, runs July 30-August 20. For tickets, priced $25, visit broadwayboundfestival.com/book-online.
