By Jennifer Barclay
Directed by Delicia Turner Sonnenberg
A MOXIE Theatre production presented by La Jolla Playhouse

5 person capacity
Run Time: 20 minutes

Take a ride on Betty Jean’s elevator, where she’ll offer up voyeuristic peeks into three couples’ stories across three different floors. Lennox and Gracie are packing for their post-retirement dream trip, Liv and Teresa are in the midst of a role-play gone sour, and Ed and Coco are teenagers on a midnight rendezvous in their school’s boiler room. Counterweight is a fun, intimate examination of love through the prism of closing doors and constant motion.
