Music and Lyrics by Tommy Newman
On a lonely stretch of highway in Western Pennsylvania, a 7-Eleven store becomes the setting for a transformative night. Frankie, a store clerk working the graveyard shift on New Year’s Eve, finds herself snowed-in with an enigmatic woman named Mary. The two women connect over their circumstances, exploring themes of love, loss, friendship, motherhood, the men in their lives, and the importance of celebrating little victories. Mary eventually reveals herself to be the embodiment of the Virgin Mary, and together, they reach for a new beginning. Set against the backdrop of a simple convenience store, this two-person, one-act musical blends both humor and heartache, and it is a poignant exploration of faith, connection, and the miraculous moments that bind us all.
