A Dallas matriarch pays an unexpected visit to her late son’s former

with her own life choices and how society has changed around her.

the 70 year old widow, who after twenty years, suddenly decides to pay a
visit to the Upper West Side apartment of her late son’s former partner,
Cal Porter.  Paul Murphy of Troy  portrays Cal in the production, with
Dylan Widjiono of Stockport as Will Ogden, Cal’s husband.  Rounding out the
cast is newcomer, 9 year old Ely Loskowitz of Valatie, as the couple’s
young son, Bud.
