Featuring Tony Award Winning Actress Dinah Manoff. She is best known for her roles as Carol Weston on Empty Nest, Marty Maraschino in the film Grease, and Libby Tucker in I Ought to Be in Pictures, for which she won a Tony Award.

Also starring Lisina Stoneburner.

This Tony-nominated play delves into the complex and shifting power dynamics between a celebrated writer and her ambitious protégé. What begins as a nurturing mentorship evolves into a deep personal and professional bond, as the older writer imparts her wisdom and life experiences to the younger woman. However, as the protégé finds her own voice and success, admiration gives way to rivalry when she draws inspiration from her mentor’s most intimate past. The resulting betrayal raises profound questions about artistic ownership, ethical boundaries, and the personal cost of ambition, making Collected Storiesa gripping exploration of loyalty, creativity, and the blurred lines between life and art.
