About FIVE WOMEN AT AN AIRPORT ‣ It’s the second week of September 2020: the sixth month of the global pandemic—before vaccines, the death of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, AND the Presidential election. When a blackout leaves five women—all strangers—marooned at JFK International Airport, circumstances compel them to drop their literal and figurative masks. this new movie musical flies us back in history to a time-capsule moment when women have no idea what their future holds… but we do.
