Show Info
This is a story about a group of Long Island neighbors who help each other manage their particular life crises in a weekly adult-Ed memoir class. True friendships and at least one love story bud and blossom meanwhile. Camaraderie, language, and hope are the play's essence -- it is heavy but it does float.
