"Look Who's Talking"
by Derek Benfield
directed by Heather Holstein

When two unexpected guests, Jane and Brian, drop in on Sheila and Andrew, a devoted middle-age couple, what ensues is a comp­licated and hilarious series of misunderstand­ings and mistaken identities as Sheila and Andrew begin to weave an elaborate web of lies and half-truths to hide their own possible infidelities.
