Synopsis

Waiting delves into the lives of twelve people who share humorous and heart-warming stories about their relationships and whether or not they waited to have sex until they were married.

Press Reviews

"Waiting playwright Lisa Soland starts her ostensibly light comedy with pre-marital sex and, over the course of her play, expands that theme to encompass her loss of faith in humanity in an increasingly solipsistic world. And in the journey from light to darkness...she reveals a kind of truth that transcends moral diatribe...and the play develops into a sobering indictment of our own apathy toward not only romantic relationships but the ones we forge with our fellow man as well. Waiting becomes a kind of strategy for getting past pre-judgments, and the play turns into a heartwarming story about restoring trust."
— LA Weekly

"Billed as a comedy about pre-marital sex,' Lisa Soland's play Waiting searches the passionate depths of the heart rather than keying on the fleshy surface of sex."
— Crescenta Valley Sun
