SYNOPSIS
Sophia is a beautiful, articulate, bright, educated woman, whose blind spot is relationships. Her pattern is sequential frequent encounters with “boyfriends,” who depart after a short term contact.
Enlisting the help of her BFF Heather, Sophia tries therapy with renowned expert Dr. Jake Kelly. Diagnosed with “Beautiful Woman Syndrome,” part of her rehabilitation is to recognize “every hit man” and their “hit man lines” which have always led to a quick tryst. Sophia must learn about the forgotten majority of male society – the “invisible men” (those who would never approach her), if she is to find true love.
As she grows through the play, she develops the ability to handle her encounters with George, a non-descript forgettable man, who is the true man of her dreams.
