Grace (played by Billie McBride) is a feisty 90 year old lady who has checked herself out of the hospital to return to her beloved homestead cottage in the Blue Ridge Mountains to finish her life alone. Glorie (played by Kendra Crain), a young volunteer with Harvard MBA has recently been transplanted from New York. As she attempts to care for and comfort the cantankerous rustic, this sophisticated urbanite gains new perspectives on life's highs and lows.

Tom Ziegler’s Grace and Glorie (first presented in workshop at The Shenandoah Valley Playwrights Retreat as Apple Dreams in 1990) went on to a successful Broadway run starring Estelle Parsons and Lucie Arnez. Hallmark Hall of Fame filmed it for television with Gena Rowlands as Grace and Diane Lane as Glorie. Other works include the musical Glory Bound, Home Games, and The Ninth Step.
