Show Synopsis
What began as a Readers Theatre production in 2025 is now transitioning to our Mainstage! Fifty years into their marriage, Bill and Nancy want a divorce. While they seem unfazed by the decision, their two adult sons are shaken to the core. In this charming comedic work, every member of the family grapples with their new, separate realities.
Intended for Mature Audiences.
Character Descriptions
Bill (Male) early to late 70s – Lives in Grand Horizons. Nancy’s husband, he’s a
bit of a curmudgeon. Looks like your generic grandfather. This former pharmacist
is working towards his dream of becoming a stand-up comic. A more emotional
man than his dry exterior lets on, Bill deals with much of life by just letting it
happen around him but has found the fun in “sexting” his lady friend at Grand
Horizons .
Nancy (Female) early to late 70s – Bill’s wife. Kind, giving, resourceful, and finally
not afraid to speak her mind. A former librarian she has hit the wall and wants to
begin making something more meaningful with the rest of her life as she breaks
away from Bill.
Ben (Male) mid 30s to late 40s – Nancy and Bill’s eldest son. Very cerebral, he
serves as the responsible caretaker for his parents. An attorney with a baby on
the way he is now forced to deal with not only his parent’s predicament but his
own marital issues as well.
Brian (Male) 30s to late 40s – Nancy and Bill’s second son. He is an unmarried
high school drama teacher who wants to make all 200 of his students happy by
quadruple casting them in his upcoming production of “The Crucible”. Somewhat
sad, unsatisfied and emotional he is a lonely man looking for love in all the wrong
places – mainly online with male strangers.
Jess (Female) 30s – Ben’s wife. She is strong willed, outspoken and pregnant
with her first child. A newly credentialed family therapist she steps in to try to
mediate Bill and Nancy’s marriage without much success. Jess soon realizes the
cracks in her own marriage and recoils against what she is about to become.
Tommy (Male) 25-40 (one strong scene) – Brian’s late-night on-line hookup. Flirty,
a little obnoxious and blunt, he comes home with Brian and walks into a situation
he was not expecting and wants no part of.
Carla (Female) 50s -60s (one strong scene) -. Chatty, frumpy, warm with an
easy laugh she is nothing like we expected as “the other woman” until she starts
talking about her love of vibrators! Could be Southern, British, or ?
