Directed by B. Michael Quale

This "honestly-rendered and heartfelt play" explores the friendship of two of the most unlikely acquaintances.  Edith Loveland, a former 76 year old Broadway chorus girl and Edgar, a 40-something father of three and a New York fry-cook.

As the play progresses, we see signs of Miss Loveland's bout with Alzheimer's, a disease which robs the core of a person's being.  Once successful, she now lives alone in a flea-bag residence hotel in midtown Manhattan where Edgar owns and operates the Studio Cafe'.

The two establish a bond of friendship and understanding as Edgar, who is going through a separation from his wife of sixteen years, learns some valuable lessons from his new friend.  Each becomes sympathetic to one another as they discover life is about accepting differences.
