This show popped up on Telecharge today, and I think the solid cast makes it noteworthy. Interestingly, it's booked for the Actors Temple Theatre concurrently with Ode to the Wasp Woman, which doesn't have performances on Fridays and Saturdays, so they must be alternating use of the space.

"Caroline Aaron, Marilu Henner, Melanie Mayron, and JoBeth Williams star in Madwomen of the West, a hilarious new comedy about an LA gals brunch that goes terribly wrong.
Caroline Aaron (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Marilu Henner (Taxi), Melanie Mayron (thirtysomething), and JoBeth Williams (The Big Chill) star in a rip-roaring new comedy by Sandra Tsing Loh (NPR). Welcome to Jules’ stunning Brentwood mansion, where hangry (she's on a sugar cleanse) Marilyn is throwing a surprise birthday brunch for Claudia, who hates birthdays. Champagne corks pop—and tempers flare—when their long-estranged celebrity friend Zoey crashes the party, fresh from her TED Talks. Expect hilarity, outrageous rants, and unexpected wisdom about what it means to be a woman (no matter what pronouns you use) in the 21st century."
