The story of three sisters battling the stress of family brought on by Thanks Giving. The play is cloaked in sports motifs. A pair of announcers add color commentary and drum the action at a hyper active pace. The setting is more retro than period, and uses the vibrant colors of sports and board games. The challenge of the play was the actors playing multiple members of the extended family, and accommodating their breakneck quick changes.
