David Harms’ new play, POWERHOUSE, asks the question “Can women have it all?” Well, you are going to have to see this delightful romp through the back offices and underbelly of a law firm to get the answer. Regan (Laura Shoop) has been working her way to a partnership at Breedan for many years. And now that she is almost there, a private indulgence with her mentee (Dominick LaRuffa, Jr.) may stand in her way. Her boss (convincingly portrayed by Jeorge Bennett Watson), as well as the HR Department (Jennifer Pierro, Kate Levy), think they have her right where they want her, but Regan has just begun to fight

Harms has captured the manipulations, maneuvers, politics, and environment of big business; he tempers it with the relationship between Regan and her mentee. The chemistry between these two is worth the price of admission. Perfectly paired, they play off one another with both intensity and vulnerability – it is fun to watch them together. POWERHOUSE is an enjoyable experience that may give you an idea or two about the climb to the top.
