NEW YORK - illiNews -- Have you ever wondered what women really do in the bathroom? Toni Thai Sterrett is ready to take you into the girl's room with her new comedy web series, Potty Break, which gives us a small glimpse into the lives of two friends, Toni and Donna, who are two aging club "hostesses" that are struggling to get out of the club scene.

Toni longs to find her identity while Donna desperately wants to find a rich husband. Will they be party girls forever?

Potty Break is written and directed by Toni Thai Sterrett (who also stars in the web series alongside British actress, Donna Augustin-Quinn) who is known for her purpose-driven work from films such as August the First (a Gotham Award-nominated film) to the critically acclaimed short, "Presumed inspired by Trayvon Martin."

Potty Break has guest star appearances by Emmy and Grammy Award winner Robert Glasper, and Santana Benitez, Food Network Chop'd champion and co-star of Netflix's She's Gotta Have It.
