Anne Percy, a celebrated limerist, has run out of rhymes—quite the pickle for a woman with a stack of limericks to write and an Angry Town Mob on her tail. She might have a way out if she can write one final limerick for a wealthy benefactor, only to realize it means she has to reunite with an old flame to do so. There Once Was A… is a comedy about love, passion, limericks, what it means for our dreams to change, and what happens when what we once thought defined us no longer rings true.
