Life after college is hard. Dead-end jobs. Lousy housing. A crushing sense of futility. Your dead friend casually haunting your apartment. Join us for a reading of this brand-new comedy as we explore what can be found in the space between this world and the next.

Two years ago, a group of haggard college students looked at their writer/co-director and wondered why anyone would voluntarily write their senior show about so much death, betrayal, and desperation. They demanded that the next time around, there would be fun, laughter, and joy -they wanted a comedy.

They're getting Laid to Rest. There's still death, but there's also sex, romance, and the little trials of life. Sure, it isn't amusing when someone dies at twenty-four for no good reason, but put it in a novelty hat and death can become a funny part of life.
