Playwrights 6, which has established a resident company at the Hudson Avenue Theatre, is presenting the world premiere of a lesbian comedy, Laura Black's Seven Days, continuing through Oct. 15. Black directs the piece; the producer is Jennifer Green.

Seven Days deals with five very different women on a "survival" expedition into the wilderness, where they find not only each other, but themselves. In the cast are Susan Vee, Susan Reno, Jilliac Crane, Rae Ritke and Maia Dujany.

The opening marks the beginning of a series of full- length works by Playwrights 6, which was founded in 1999 and has staged four local productions to date. The company is headed by Leigh Fortier.

Black, a founding member of Playwrights 6, is a writer and director. Her plays include The Session, Karma, Blood and Waiting for Bobo. Green is an independent producer with stage and screen credits.
