This story celebrates Colorado’s outdoor culture and highlights three diverse and talented performers taking on multiple roles, engagement with the audience through moments of direct address storytelling, and the celebration of community through honest and intimate staging. These are true stories that the playwright has woven together to highlight women climbers through history, including real-life Denver native Erin, a trans climber. The performance creates captivating journeys full of surprises, laughs, and honest pain with an accessible and modern entry point for audience members.  

Together Stone and Cozzola have over 25 years of extremely robust professional experience from Off-Broadway all the way to The Second City (Chicago).  It marks their fourth collaboration together over the last 8 years. Henriette wants to be the first lady in 1830s Europe to climb Mont Blanc. Erin wants to be the first trans woman to ascend the Seven Summits. And MT wants to get through a bouldering class without embarrassing herself. Three true stories of women pushing their limits and meeting their edge.
