Joey’s 17. Joey knows everything. Except why Callie won’t call her back. Let her gut punch your funny bone in LIKEWISE: a biting comedy from the trenches of girlhood.
A "hilarious, heartbreaking, and so relatable" piece about friendship, fighting dirty, and performing for the voices in your head, real or imagined. Joey is your winningly unreliable narrator, fired up and ready to speedrun all the crazy things you do when you lose someone—and the even crazier things you’d do to get them back.
Part of 59E59 Theaters' East to Edinburgh 2026
