Back in 2004, Kellie Overbey handed me her play Girl Talk to read. I fell in love with her brutally delicious humor and the fearlessly deft way in which she drew her characters. They jumped off the page and begged me to give them a space in which to stomp around. – Carrie Preston

These are real women, comically portrayed, who are trying to wrestle with the very expectations of womanhood that Hollywood movies set up. – Carrie Preston
