Simon's Rest is a retirement community in Frankfort, Michigan. Every Christmas the residents perform their traditional, boring, and harder and harder to produce version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Every Christmas, that is, except this one. Minnie Winchester, an elderly piano teacher, suggests that the residents do something new, something like THE NUTCRACKER. Just as rehearsals begin, however, the retirees discover one important and overlooked detail, THE NUTCRACKER is a ballet, and Minnie Winchester, a rather rotund lady who always wanted to play Clara, the lead, doesn't know how to dance.
by William Van Zandt & Jane Milmore
Set in the bathroom in a home during a party, a handy place for gossip and hanky panky, where we learn of the wild and crazy things going on at the party. This hilarious farce is from the authors of "Love, Sex and the I.R.S." , "Suitehearts" and "Having a Wonderful Time, Wish You Were Her".
"The World's Greatest Entertainer"
by Greer Firestone
The world knew her simply as "Judy". When Dorothy Gale entered Oz, Judy Garland entered immortality. Judy's life story is told in chronology and dialogue sets up the signature songs of the four entertainers who go by first names only - LIZA, FRANK & DEAN. A wonderful musical revue of timeless music.

Set in a secluded spot in New York's Central Park, the play is about two octogenarians determined to fight off all attempts to put them out to pasture. Talk about an odd couple!

The other half of this unlikely partnership is Midge, a black apartment super who spends his days in the park hiding out from tenants, who want him to retire.
