an elevator falls in a major city, nine lives intersect in surprising ways, both comic and tragic — through love and sex, poetry, and dentistry: in offices, homes, and hotel rooms.

Jill longs for Steve, who’s engaged to Barb, who hooks up with Peter, who’s already having an affair with Nan, who’s married to Marty, who subscribes to Elevator World. Meanwhile, nine stories off the ground, Douglas meets Tanya — who’s hoping to get pregnant with Hal — and a little miracle changes hands.

Tickets, which are non-refundable, cost $24 in advance, $26 at the door, $40/$45 for cabaret seating, $18/20 for children.
