Sleep-deprived Kat writes great music. Okay, it’s for video games—but great. And so is her baby, even if her boyfriend split and an explorer named Shackleton keeps phoning from beyond time. Inspired by Kat’s music, he shares his Antarctic journeys with her as both struggle toward new horizons. Broadway’s Joe DiPietro (Memphis) wrote the funny script, and GrooveLily violinist Valerie Vigoda stars in this solo of a lifetime, co-written with Striking 12’s Brendan Milburn. Contains mature language.
