Visiting Mr. Green: A Heartwarming Comedy About an Unlikely Friendship
- Full Price:
- $20.00
- Our Price:
- $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

Featured review from Goldstar Member
view more less of this reviewloved being right on stage made me feel like i was actually a part of the events.
star this review starred report as inappropriateSeated in a half circle on the stage, we watched actors portray eight people hiding from the Nazis in an upstairs apartment for two years during World War II. It made one imagine what it would be like to walk in their footsteps fearing being found out every day, but trying to live as normal a life as they could under the extreme circumstances. The actors made the situation very realistic and the 12 year old girl playing Anne Frank was outstanding.
star this review starred report as inappropriateGreat stage set-up. Really felt like we were in the attic with Anne and the others.
star this review starred report as inappropriateFrom the moment of entering the annex through the bookshelf until the play was over, we were enraptured by the story. It was so well acted and brought tears to my eyes. The use of the intimate stage was impeccable and and the ensemble were simply magnificent. It certainly brought you back in time. We would love to see this performance again and highly recommend it to everyone.
