Harris is certainly a playwright to watch.

40 WEEKS is an emotionally charged ride and the talented cast grasps the inner raw emotion of love.

-Lucy Butcher, Show Business
The story speaks especially well to so many young New Yorkers—such as writers, actors, or artists—who push responsibilities aside to pursue their creative dreams, only to be suddenly faced with new obligations.
