Bad Dates
Bad Dates

The whirlwind winter hit of 2009 is back! By popular demand, S&Co. favorite Elizabeth Aspenlieder returns to the stage in the role for which she won a prestigious Elliot Norton Award (Best Solo Performance 2009) and was nominated for a 2010 IRNE Award. Aspenlieder pulls out all the stops as she slips into the role of single-mom-with-an-attitude Haley Walker, in this one-woman-wonder of a play. Haley balances the pressures that come with a new career as a fashionable New York City restaurateur, raising a teenaged daughter, and even a too-close-for-comfort relationship with the Romanian mob-and does so without neglecting to find the perfect pair of shoes.
