Set in Hoboken in the early 1980’s, Dykes of Hoboken is a comedy about KD, a theatre director who returns to her Hudson County roots looking for an apartment, a job and to mend her broken heart. Her long-time girlfriend has dumped her, her best friend, Peter, isn’t well and the rapid real estate development in her home town is being expedited through arson. In the throes of gentrification and the AIDS epidemic KD finds a home in the growing gay and arts community.
