Visiting Mr. Green: A Heartwarming Comedy About an Unlikely Friendship

Full Price:
$20.00
Our Price:
COMP - $10.00

When an elderly man is nearly struck by a car, the driver is sentenced to community service: helping the man with his household chores for six months. This comedy about two very different men who do not want to be in the same room together is also the moving story of two lonely spirits who gradually come to know and care about each other. Written by Jeff Baron (Mother's Day, Mr. & Mrs. God), it's a poignant comedy that will bring both tears and laughter. Learn More

Mini plays were good and some dragged on way too long like god vs world. Acting was ok, not spectacular but I did not expect Broadway.
