The play revolves around three crooks, Talman, Carlino and Harry Roat. Roped into participating in the scheme, Talman and Carlino are conmen. Roat is the criminal mastermind who devises the plan.
The men are looking for a musical doll filled with heroin, which they believe is in the apartment of Sam and Susy Hendrix. Susy, who is blind, is their target.
When Sam is gone, Susy is alone in their home, and the men make it their mission to con her and retrieve the doll. However, Susy turns out to be more intelligent than they thought. With the help of her nine year old neighbor, Gloria, Susy comes up with a plan of her own, and attempts to outwit the criminals.
Two aging men, Max and John, are neighbors who have been feuding for most of their lives. Invigorated by their shared affection for their new neighbor across the street, the beautiful, eccentric, and charming Ariel, they face-off as romantic rivals until their hilarious shenanigans finally bring about a resolution to their long-standing differences. Based on the 1993 film, which starred Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, and Ann-Margret, this stage adaptation captures the lovably crotchety characters through twinkling humor, great songs, and the affectionate depiction of a small town that feels like home to everyone.
Friday & Saturday Shows begin at 5 pm. Sunday’s Show starts at 3 pm.
