Synopsis

Jane Batts is an up-and-coming fashion designer who lives in a loft with her husband Rico, a successful artist.

Until now, Rico has been paying most of the bills - but Jane has a chance to break out on her own with a series of bat shaped dress designs.

However, she first must contend with her old college roommate, Pam, a self-proclaimed psychic who has arrived in New York to teach "telepathic lovemaking" - and plans to crash with Jane for awhile.

Will Pam's "visions" reveal something more about Rico?

A short comedy about two very different women, seeking success in the big city.

Published in Off Off Broadway Festival Plays, 5th Series .
