Safe Hands is an original musical that takes an honest look at life before Roe v. Wade. Set in 1956 New Jersey, the story follows five women whose lives become bound by the secret of "Frankie's House" – an underground abortion clinic on the far side of town.
Newlywed Lydia's suburban tranquility is shattered when her seemingly-perfect neighbor confides a desperate secret: she received an abortion at Frankie's House. As Lydia's life becomes increasingly entangled with the women who run the clinic, she'll be forced to determine: how far is she willing to go to help someone in need before her world unravels?
Set against a soaring folk rock score, Safe Hands is a thrilling and heartfelt look at the hidden lives of 20th century women and the communities they forge behind closed doors.

Runtime: 2 hours 15 minutes with one intermission
