Duck out of the summer heat and into Island City Stage for the National New Play Network rolling world premiere of Tracy Jones by Stephen Kaplan, a poignant story of individual connection in an increasingly complicated world, running through June 18.

Tracy Jones is having a major life crisis. Her job at the bank is taking her nowhere, her panic attacks are getting worse and having such a common name is giving her an identity crisis. With everything spiraling out of control around her, it’s time to find something she can take control of. That’s when it hits her; she’s going to throw a party to celebrate every woman named Tracy Jones!
