Jada and Dallas have been seated at Table 17, under a giant disco ball. They talk over dinner, sipping drinks and bathed in the restaurant’s colored lighting. It’s been seven years since they first met, and two years since they ended their engagement. Jada is still single; Dallas called her; and she’s decided to see him again, against her therapist’s advice. But what if he wants her back? Douglas Lyon’s new play, starring Biko Eisen-Martin and Tony Award-winner Kara Young, is lighthearted, funny, and romantic. “This is theater as comfort food,” Laura Collins-Hughes wrote in The New York Times, “and it satisfies a genuine craving.” —Jeanne Malle
