How to Transcend a Happy Marriage

Written by Sarah Ruhl
Directed by Sandra Ish
Featuring Gina Alvarado, Abbey Lee, Anthony Martinez, Angela Squire, Corey Jackson, Jewel Harmony Ramos

The Sonoma County premiere of award-winning playwright Sarah Ruhl's subversive enchantment.

At a dinner party in New Jersey, two couples discuss polyamory. Discussion turns to action and the exploration of unexplored desire turns animalistic. How to Transcend a Happy Marriage blurs the lines of monogamy and asks how deeply can friends, lovers, and strangers connect.
