Five nurses, $3 million, one crazy scandal. The ICU nurses at Morey Medical Center don’t need another complication, but when money goes missing and fingers point in their direction, everyone’s on their worst and most outrageous behavior. This wild ride through the lives of five resilient women in healthcare in ATL is funny, poignant, and just the right amount of scandalous, while revealing that the path to healing and redemption is never a straight line.

Meet Playwright: Kelundra Smith
Kelundra Smith is a storyteller whose mission is to connect people to cultural experiences and each other. A Georgia native, she got into theatre because that’s where teachers put the kids who talk too much in class. As a playwright, she has a passion for southern historical narratives and writing stories about people who no one else sees. Her play The Wash is a recipient of a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere, with productions in Atlanta, St. Louis, Chicago, and New York. Kelundra is also a theater critic and arts journalist whose articles about artists from historically excluded groups have been published in The New York Times, ESPN’s Andscape, Garden & Gun, American Theatre, ArtsATL, Atlanta Magazine, and elsewhere. Her long-term goals are to land on The New York Times bestseller list, open a late-night dessert restaurant and have her plays adapted for television.
