A romantic comedy set in an old boathouse in rural Missouri in 1944, the two-character play recounts the reunion of a pair of hesitant sweethearts who met the previous summer -- one a Jewish immigrant and the other a nurse from a conservative Protestant family, both of them bruised by the past.

Paulson currently stars in Ryan Murphy's FX series American Horror Story, and will also appear in Steve McQueen's film Twelve Years a Slave, starring Brad Pitt and Michael Fassbender. She received an Emmy nomination for her role in the HBO movie Game Change. Her most recent New York stage work was in the 2010 Broadway production of Collected Stories.
