SET Perhaps a table and a few chairs.
A failed TV writer returns to his rural Southern home to teach improvisation at the Delta Arts Center. In his first awkward class, the teacher gets a few life lessons from his two quirky students.

"A charming character piece. Here, two old women get bumped from the ever-popular ceramics class into an improvisation course with a failed sitcom writer. It represents the best of what this brief format can reveal: surprising characterizations unfolding in original situations."
--The Albuquerque Tribune
