A Have and Have-Nots Comedy

Summer’s ending on Martha’s Vineyard, but before everything is shuttered, Simone invites her sister Devon down for a sisters weekend. As personal assistant to demanding trophy wife Michaela Kell, Simone enjoys a lavish, beachfront lifestyle that the girls never could have imagined growing up in blue-collar Buffalo. But, within minutes of Devon’s arrival, Michaela crashes the party. She and her husband have had a fight, and she’s counting on Simone to help her keep from becoming Ex-Wife Number Two. Throw in the disgruntled groundskeeper Jos-B (because there’s already a Jose) and Simone’s delusional, old money boyfriend Ethan, and the lines are drawn between the rich and “the help.”

Worlds collide in this fast and furious comedy about ambition, class, family and the choices that shape who we become.

“An uncommonly moving work…”
– LA Theater Review

“Metzler’s biting satire cuts both ways, but mostly taking its digs at the foibles of the rich. But she also recognizes the humanity that lies below the diamond-encrusted, gold plated surface.”
– The Examiner

“Molly Smith Metzler has a grasp on language that harnesses comedic timing in a way that most playwrights are unable to master.”
– Minnesota Daily

“when it comes to staging, the Curley-Clay sisters have designed one of the most splendid sets you’ll ever see off-Broadway” –Publishers Feature Service

Elemeno Pea has everything in the right place” — ArtsATL.com

“In director Heidi Cline McKerley’s Horizon production, the roles are nicely played by Cynthia D. Barker (Simone) and Tiffany Porter (Devon), respectively. They set up the premise of the show with clever charm to spare, establishing a convincing bond and a natural rapport from the get-go” –AJC
