Everyone wants a piece of Laine, a young waitress who has decided to leave her rural Pennsylvania town to embark on a new challenge. The people who rely on her the most, her unambitious live-in boyfriend, her struggling mother, and a middle-aged customer, must come to terms with Laine’s impending absence from their lives. Is she leaving or is she escaping? This play explores power dynamics when desperate people exploit and manipulate others to get what they want, to hang on to what they have, or to just break free. What do we owe to the people who say they need us?
