“
A charming, funny slice-of-senior-citizen life. Believable, far-ranging, naturalistic dialogue spoken by well-thought-out characters helps this play really stand out. ”

Don't touch the seniors doughnuts, they will come for you! Absolutely hilarious and well done! ”

“
A hilarious short play that beautifully captures the deceptively narrow concerns of a group of older women on a senior bowling league. The last remaining doughnut becomes a metaphor for so much more—symbolizing nothing less than a deep yearning for more out of life. Great roles for an underserved group—older women. ”
