Synopsis: | Part memory play and part commentary on present relationship, Dividends is a warm and tender play about tradition, caring, change and love. How well does any grandson really know his grandfather? Dividends explores the generation gap between a struggling young artist and his grandfather who is in the hospital near the end of his life. Even though their relationship has always been distant, Neal finds himself forced to look after Pops and he learns a great deal about his early life, his romantic inclinations and his unfulfilled dreams. Neal's sense of alienation from the older generation and his instinctive desire to overcome it leads him to want to give his grandfather something he never had because his family was too busy being poor-a bar mitzvah. Through it all, Pops' wife of fifty-nine and one-half years hovers over both as only a grandmother could. Critics have described Dividends as delightful, absorbing, charming and heartfelt | |||||

Synopsis: | a uniquely funny, poignant full length play about a woman reevaluating her life at a time of crises, revisiting the choices she's made and the people who have affected and influenced those choices. Written with both humor and candor, Karen Hoffman struggles to create a meaningful life while coping with crazy parents, inner doubt, marital strife, familial responsibilities and hormonal hysteria. With only three actors on stage, it's a tour de force for the actress who plays Karen and a great challenge for the actors who perform all the other characters in Karen's life. | |||||

Synopsis: | A good-natured, affable man embittered by the death of his beloved wife reluctantly sells his business and home in Brooklyn and moves to Florida. In what he thought would be ''God's waiting room,'' he finds a world of new possibilities as single women his age flock to charm the new, available man. This play by the author of Dividends is about the rebirth of an elderly man who finds that the long dormant teenager in himself still exists. It celebrates the richness of the mature life experience in a warmhearted comedy that clearly demonstrates it's not how old you are, it's how your are old! | |||||

Synopsis: | It is a beautiful summer evening on a moonlit beach by the ocean. It's July 20th in the years: 1969, 1994, and 2019. Three sets of actors play Linda and Tommy during different phases of their lives; each twenty-five years apart. In 1969, on the night of the first moonwalk, Tommy and Linda, age fifteen, consummate their solemn vow of love for the first time as one small step is taken for man and one large step is taken or mankind. In 1994, Tom, now forty, physically abuses his wife, Linda, for the very last time. And in 2019, at sixty-five, Thomas returns home to Linda, and to bury their only son. The action in the three eras unfolds simultaneously as we watch the conception, dissolution, and absolution of the lifelong vow of two lovers. | |||||
