Originally This play was first produced in the summer of 2009 at The Barn Theatre in Port Sanilac, during its 30th season. Opening night began with 67 people in the audience. As word on the street spread and repeat audience-goers came back again and again, the house was sold out the last two nights of performance. During the play’s initial run at The Barn Theatre, it premiered under a different title, "Start 2 Finish", opting to go back to the play's original working title of "Game Night".
