a play by
Seat Belts and Big Fat Buddhas explores the lives of twentysomethings immersed in today's growing self-help movement. Henry has been dumped by his girlfriend who never really thought they were going out. Judith has left her husband after seeing Ellen DeGeneres come out on national TV. And Lisa doesn't know what the hell to do with her man who has just popped the question. Throw in a therapist obsessed with his cat and a traffic school instructor with a gun, and you've got a wildly funny comedy with a metaphysical center.
