Synopsis: Local award-winning playwright, Thomas W. Stephens gritty, street drama depicts the chance involvement of Gertie, a troubled Army vet and self-inflicted street person, and Cervin, a seventh grade drop out. From their first encounter on a nighttime city street, the two are chary of each other and emotionally combustible. As Gertie resists being drawn into the world of Cervin, their relationship, nonetheless, grows ever more overlaid, complex, and inevitable. In the play’s final moments together they chant a “countdown” to a happy day they both so crave and for which they continue waiting.
