Runtime

Amy and Pete are in trouble: she works at the local hospital, he’s an unemployed opera singer, and they have a baby on the way. With inflation mounting and a million baby things to buy, they turn to an unconventional means of making extra cash - selling her underwear on the internet - and end up buried in the panty business.

Sensory description

Desperate Measures is a mostly dialogue-based play, with some aspects of physical comedy. It takes place in an apartment with some minor lighting changes, uses prerecorded music, and doesn't contain any loud or jarring sound effects.
We believe that it can be enjoyed by blind or vision-impaired audience members with little to no added access measures. Deaf or hard-of-hearing audience members may require additional access measures to enjoy the show.
