Cleveland's architects of the out-of-the ordinary, Theater Ninjas, are bringing Melissa James Gibson's Obie Award-winning comedy [sic] to 78th Street Studios.

If only Babette can get this book deal, if Theo can finish his roller coaster theme song, and if Frank can launch his auctioneering career: their dreams will come true....or so they think.
