About the Play:
Set in the not-too-distant future, this new dark comedy confronts today’s
direst global crises with incisive humor and sly wisdom. Stevie and Joan
prepare for what will be a transformative experience. But what will it mean
for their life as they know it? And what’s going on with the strange couple
living next door? Richard Dresser’s (Rounding Third, Gun-Shy, The Pursuit
of Happiness) plays have been widely produced on and off Broadway, in the
nation’s leading regional theatres, and throughout Europe. A reading of 100
Years was produced as a part of Troy Foundry Theatre’s Dark Day Mondays
