Members Who Went Said:
This was truly bad. This small production attempted to use what they believed to be shocking topics as humor and unfortunately, it failed to be funny. The second half of the play was darker and made little attempts to be funny. The material for the second half has been done enough in the media and was not entertaining in a play. I brought my elderly parents and a few other family members to this production and half of them left at the intermission. To actually have half of a group walk out lets you know just how much a waste of time this was. Sorry folks - they missed the mark on this one.
Jerry Ingemi jerryi978 VERY enjoyable...had a great time LAUGHING...a little set back about the Priest-thing....too much anguish for such an otherwise good time....would've REALLY just enjoyed a good continuing laugh.

Event HighlightsMore Details About This Event: Sit back, relax and enjoy good old-fashioned gossip with Gert, Marjorie and Alma. Set on the North Shore, this homespun comedy follows the Labor Day preparations of three best friends as they bicker about Lawrence Welk, share recipes for potato salad, and swap stories about everything from Foxwoods senior bus trips to the President’s sex life. You’ll feel right at home!
