The Last Romance is the bittersweet tale of 80-year-old Ralph Bellini, a
widower who once auditioned for The Met and who has harbored both a passion
for the art form and a sense of sad regret over what was not to be. A chance
at romance in the person of Carole comes to him suddenly in of all places, a
dog park, and in that heightened state of new life possibilities, memories
of the young tenor he once was ever present. Ralph's housemate and care
giving sister, Rose, already once abandoned by her husband, fears the
consequences of this blooming romance. The past and its secrets and
entanglements emerge and offer conflict to the joys of a second and last
chance romance.
AVAILIBLE ROLES:
Ralph Bellini, 80, (actor who can play) a jocular, affable teaser at first
glance, who has never lost his passion for opera, is open to and hungry to
embrace the possibilities which a new romance offers in the face of a life
marked by routine and loyalty to his sister and his memories. 
Carole Reynolds 70's (actor who can play) an attractive woman who is
dignified reserved and direct in her initial rejection of her would be
suitor but capable of warming to the open-hearted affirmations of
appreciation and affection offered by the affable Ralph. She harbors a sad
secret.
Rose Tagliatelle, late 60's -70's (actor who can play) Ralph's fiercely
devoted and nag of a sister who clings with tenacity and determination to
the haven which her routinized life with her brother in their Italian, New
Jersey neighborhood represents even as she clings to the sadness and
bitterness of her own history of romance. 
The YOUTHFUL SINGER, 20's, the shadow of Ralph's what might have been past.
A tenor able to play early 20's who can sing the beautiful snatches of
Italian opera gracing the play THE LAST ROMANCE by Joe DiPietro throughout
the script.
