Waiting: a Trilogy, by Paulanne Simmons, at The Theater For The New City from the 24 Feb - 13 Mar 2005

Waiting: a Trilogy presents three moving stories about people who wait together. In The Hospital, a lawyer lends comfort to a co-worker she barely knows. In The Bus Stop, a young teacher stands by a total stranger. In The Tower an office employee refuses to leave a good friend.
