Delightful, Entertaining, Intelligent, Refreshing

See it if A wonderful story that holds your interest. Worth seeing, even though with my hearing problem some of the girl's lines were not clear.

Don't see it if This is not a "Disney" play. Both characters are faced with problems and have had their share of sadness.

Absorbing, Great acting, Great writing, Intelligent, Relevant

See it if you are moved by the story of a 75 year old veteran as his beloved wife falls into dementia and a nine year old neighbor shares her troubles

Don't see it if the somewhat shrill delivery by a young actress would keep you from treasuring the insights and affection shared by two lonely characters

Funny, Cliched, Slow

See it if you like intimate, dialogue-heavy shows. Sweet story and very funny at times.

Don't see it if you expect anything profound or exciting to happen, or if you don't appreciate shows with children actors.

For a previous production

“The amazing Masur is paired with a most enchanting newcomer, Lawler, to help us understand what can happen over the course of a few seasons in one’s life...Through many hilarious moments we realize that both have a voice you want to hear...And you see a beautiful friendship blossom...Everyone has a person that is in their lives...that makes an imprint on the rest of their life. This play will help you remember that person and these two couldn’t do a better job of it.”

For a previous production

“The show was truly a surprisingly humorous story filled with love, heart, and compassion — where two wonderfully eccentric people find true friendship...Even with just two characters...one could feel the tenderness and emotions from the relationship throughout the 90 minutes...It would be easy to relate the experience to the peeling of an onion; slowly removing the layers of their experiences, past, and relationship in what forms to be an unforgettable and truly touching bond.”
