Skin Deep is a romantic comedy focusing on the insecurities people face in the pursuit of love. Maureen, a large and lovable single, goes on a blind date with Joe, a sweet but awkward person. During the date, Maureen tends to use jokes to hide her insecurities while Joe simply says everything that he thinks.
Meanwhile, Maureen's sister Sheila, who helped set up Maureen and Joe on their date, has issues at home with her husband Squire. Believing that Squire might have had feelings for Maureen in the not-too-distant past, Sheila endures endless cosmetic surgeries in order to keep Squire's eyes focused on her.
Jon Lonoff created Skin Deep, which Bekki Jo Schneider directed for Derby Dinner Playhouse. The cast feature Elizabeth Loos as Maureen, Janet Essenpreis as Sheila, Brian Bowman as Squire, and Paul Kerr as Joe.
As is tradition with the mainstage Derby Dinner productions, The Footnotes will perform before most Skin Deep productions.
