Summary

This play with music takes place late one Christmas Eve in lonely New York City, when a couple of down-on-their-luck songwriting partners, hitless, loveless, and facing their forties, come together for a night of composing and soul-searching. This “musical story” finds Sam and Brenda facing the light of a new day and confronting a practical matter: they don’t want to mess up their friendship or their working relationship. But, when Sam shows up on Brenda’s doorstep wanting to take things to the next level, their partnership is put to the test.
