Roger Simon and Sue Leiser return for this special reunion from last years favorite show…”Beau Jest” Chris Bleau and Emily Norman also return for this production.

Playwright Joe DiPietro has become a very prolific writer, having penned four plays since 1995. He is best known for his witty musical "I Love You! You're Perfect! Now Change!" and "Over The River and Through The Woods," which have both been long running hits Off-Broadway in New York. Several critics have compared DiPietro's writing to Neil Simon's later autobiographical comedy-dramas. DiPietro says that while the characters are based loosely on his own four grandparents, the plot is completely fictional.
