A café.
A dead man.
And a cell phone that won’t stop ringing.
When Jean, a stranger from the next table, decides to
answer it she sets in motion a chain of events that is, by turns,
baffling, mysterious, comic, and grim.
And as Jean becomes involved with the dead man’s wife,
mother, mistress, and brother she begins to suspect that her life will
never be the same again.

May 5 & 12 at 2:00PM 2012When
brothers Artie and Jay are sent to live with their Grandmother, they
find out that their father’s family puts the “fun” in dysfunctional.
Set in 1942, Neil Simon’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award
winning play is a heart-warming, honest and funny look at how we define
“family”. With an uncle who is a small-time gangster, an aunt with the
mentality of a child, and a formidable, steely grandmother who struggles
to understand love, Artie and Jay are thrust into a crazy world that
they must somehow survive. Will it be the longest ten months of their
lives? Or will they all learn that “love” comes in many forms?
