   SOME PLACE LIKE HOME

   book, music and lyrics by Adam Gwon





Joanie's in New York and on the search for the perfect apartment. As she scours the city with nothing but chutzpah and some devilish Craigslist ads as her guide, it becomes clear that messy kitchens and sketchy roommates aren't the only thing Joanie's running from. A 15-minute musical that races uptown and downtown (and to Ohio) trying to find what it is we call "home." [5M, 8F (flex); no intermission]
