In this darkly comedic whirlwind, two seemingly civilized couples meet to discuss a playground fight between their sons. But as civility crumbles, secrets spill, and the adults devolve into a hilarious (and disturbingly relatable) display of childish behavior. Prepare for laughter, cringe-worthy moments, and a biting look at the pressures of modern parenthood. A comedy of manners – without the manners.

You’re six years old. Mom’s in the hospital. Dad says she’s “done something stupid.” She finds it hard to be happy. So you start to make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Everything that’s worth living for.

1. Ice cream.

2. Kung Fu movies.

17. Burning things.

54. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out of your nose.

You leave it on her pillow. You know she’s read it because she’s corrected your spelling. Soon, the list will take on a life of its own. A play about depression and the lengths we will go to for those we love.

Reprising his celebrated role is multiple TTB Award-winner, Ned Averill-Snell.

U.S. Army Captain Jack Ludwig, a military doctor stationed in Oregon, begins writing to Louise Rabiner, an aspiring actress and dancer in New York City, hoping to meet her someday if the war will allow. But as the war continues, it threatens to end their relationship before it even starts. Tony Award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig (Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, Lend Me a Tenor) tells the joyous, heartwarming story of his parents’ courtship during World War II and the results are anything but expected.
