The 2022 Minnesota Fringe hit is back! This new full-length production takes a humorous and playful look at the deeply flawed world of healthcare. Smart and ambitious, Jane is passionate about Business™ and is ready to take the next step in her career. When an important business presentation is derailed by chronic pain, she begins a journey for a diagnosis, discovering the complex, and oftentimes infuriating, realities of navigating a system built for anyone but you. With a catchy and moving score, be prepared to laugh until you cry (and maybe both at the same time) at this world premiere event!
