Girls of Summer
N Richard Nash
A good natured, affable man embittered by the death of his beloved wife reluctantly sells his business and home in Brooklyn and moves to Florida.
In what he thought would be "God's waiting room," he finds a world of new possibilities as single women his age flock to charm the new, available man.
This play by the author of Dividends is about the rebirth of an elderly man who finds that the long dormant teenager in himself still exists.
It celebrates the richness of the mature life experience in a warmhearted comedy that clearly demonstrates it's not how old you are, it's how you are old!
"Gary Richards' 2002 comedy/drama gives us Reginald, a Brooklyn widower who tries to pull his life together by moving to a Florida condo complex for senior citizens. Smart move. It seems most of the residents there are widows eager for male companionship. The script is chock-full of interesting insights. This is a play about learning to reshape dreams, and it's difficult to not respond on some level."
