While Nancy feels liberated and Bill seems unfazed, their adult sons Brian and Ben don’t exactly take it well. As the “kids” descend on the Grand Horizons senior living community in an attempt to mediate, everything they thought they knew about their parents comes crashing down. Bess Wohl’s (<i>Small Mouth Sounds</i>) Tony-nominated comedy is a hilarious, heartbreaking commentary on marriage, family, and the wisdom that comes with age—or not.</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;border:none"></span></p><p style="margin:5pt 0in;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black;border:none"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif"><br></span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">Available Roles:</span></p><p style="margin:5pt 0in;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black;border:none"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgba(0,0,0,0.847);border:none"><b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">Nancy / Female Identifying / Age 70’s</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgba(0,0,0,0.847);border:none"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgba(0,0,0,0.847);border:none"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">Married 50 years.

She wonders if she married Bill to get Hal out of her heart. She wants to be "a full person." She wants to feel like she "exists." She doesn't recognize herself anymore. She thinks she may never have never recognized herself in the mirror in her entire life - the person she saw in the mirror never matched how she felt inside. Never had her own bank account.
