Particular standouts are “Getting Married Today,” an intensely neurotic patter song delivered by a fantastic Jennifer H. Rugani ’07 as Amy as she has second thoughts about her wedding, and “Ladies Who Lunch,” socialite Joanne’s boozy tribute to womankind. As portrayed by Mary E.

Directors Nowski, Beth McLeod, Jen H. Rugani ’07, Amy Stebbins ’07, and Cat P. Walleck ’06 injected the familiar material of female suffering and pleasure with new, poignant Harvard-based stories of trans-gender youths. Produced by Rebecca L. Eshbaugh ’07, Kristen D.
