Synopsis

Charles, a divorced ex-doctor, and Lily, a shy new arrival to Los Angeles from Connecticut, find themselves spending Christmas together in Ensenada, Mexico.

They end up in a room at The Flamingo Motel with only one bed.

He sits.

She stands.

After more awkward attempts to connect, they head to a bar, becoming a welcome distraction for bored, dissolute Richard and Cici.

He's a cocaine dealer.

She's a manicurist.

And they set about making Charles and Lily part of a memorable evening's entertainment.

Press Reviews

"As eccentric as Champagne's characters are, they assume flesh and blood credibility, endearing charm and affection. It's a lovely experience, enriched by that greatest quality the theater can offer an audience - joy."

— Downtown News

"This show is touching and funny and true; it's a gem."

— Los Angeles Weekly
