Feels like you know the very human characters in Kim E. Ruyle's wonderful SLIDING INTO SENIORHOOD. I love the interplay between the three set locations: an airport lounge, an assisted-living center, and a theatre dressing room - and the ease with which the playwright moves through the character lives, bringing all three scenarios together. It's not easy writing about aging so captivatingly and Kim brings it all to an unexpected conclusion at a nudist resort. Would love to see it!

"Sliding into Seniorhood" by Kim E. Ruyle is a delightful play filled with surprising twists that mature actors and all adult audiences will appreciate. The clever interweaving of stories is beautifully done, leading to an unforgettable and jaw-dropping ending. This vibrant play reminds us that we are never too old to make new memories. It deserves to be produced!

Matt and his father Walt have a fraught relationship based on Walt's personality and Matt's childhood memories. Sherry has a problem allowing herself to be vulnerable. Thanks to help from the three other characters, these issues seem to be happily resolved by the final scene in a nudist camp, where all is revealed (except for Walt's tattoos, which are a big subject of discussion throughout). But that scene has a twist that makes one suspect Matt and Walt will have a whole new set of issues going forward. Funny, dramatic, intriguing work with good central roles for mature actors.
