Synopsis
Nothing will prepare you for the dirty little secret Cass discovers in her husband's sweater drawer. It is so shocking that our heroine has no choice but to flee to the honeymoon capital of the world in a frantic search for the life she thinks she missed out on. It's a wild ride over Niagara Falls in a barrel of laughs as Cass embarks on a journey of self-discovery that has her crossing paths with a blithely suicidal alcoholic, a lonely tour-boat captain, a pair of bickering private detectives and a strange caper involving a gargantuan jar of peanut butter, all of which pushes her perilously close to the water's edge.

Notes
A student interviewing me about this show asked, "What has been a 'Niagara moment' for you?" I found the question very intriguing and it got me thinking about those times in our lives where, like all the characters in this play, we have been at a crossroads and it took a leap of faith to make the next move into the unknown. We then continue to move along that new path with hope that we will also discover a sign that will somehow clarify or justify our spontaneous choice as being the correct one. "What comes next?" I wonder, and to me, that is the wonder of the world. --Denise Myers
