about the show:

Some people hate the holidays. For Liana, it usually means making the cross-country pilgrimage back to her childhood apartment to deal with her reclusive mother's latest issues and her little brother's depressing descent into internet-obsessed madness. But this year is going to be different, dammit. This year, she's going to take a stand. Even if it means reaching out to her estranged, domineering father -- this year, she's going to take a stand.

about the artists:

The Quick and Dirties is an annual play series presented by |the claque| that gives six plays an opportunity to get pumped up! Each play is past the point of a developmental reading but not yet ready for a full production; a ten-day rehearsal intensive, design elements, a full creative team and two public showings at The Tank will pump up each play's potential. The QuaDs 2013 will take place throughout April and May and feature Rob Askins, Christina Gorman, Willie Orbison, Frank Paiva, Jen Silverman and Crystal Skillman.
