SHE ... needed a new washing machine
HE ... needed to be buried
The men ... solving the world’s problems
The women ... solving the men's.

Measured Lives is an original scripted
story that takes place in one day…
starting with a birth and ending
with a tumultuous wake!
Interwoven with music from the great songwriters of our time, and set in the old country,
it shines a light into daily living and
manages to be raucous, funny,
and at times, touching.
