As a local singer/actor, Glass uses her talents to convey the closeness of her relationship with her dad, Gene. She recreates their conversations, playing both roles to humorous effect. She sings the songs that were close to his heart as she was growing up: Carole King, John Denver, James Taylor. A performer from a young age, she also throws in part of many showtunes, with accompaniment and vocal assistance from the talented Wesley Frye.

The production is beautifully directed by Allison Vincent, with lighting by Eric Morris and Vincent. Stage Manager Luke Peterson and Artistic Collaborator Nikki Swoboda Theisen also contributed to the show. It's not clear who is responsible for the video and slides of her father, but they added so much to the show.
The closing song, written for the show by Leslie Vincent and Emily Dussault, The Champagne Drops, beautifully showcased the themes of the show. Performed loudly, clearly, and beautifully, it was the perfect end to a remarkable show.
