One Day explores confronting loss and how different couples cope with the idea of moving on and starting over. Inspired by a family story, the playwright’s mother shared how her widowed father would come home from work, walk up the steps to the bedroom, and speak to his deceased wife about his day as if she were still present.

Set in 1595, the hilarious SOMETHING ROTTEN! tells the story of brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom, desperate to write a hit play but stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as “the Bard.” When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theater involves singing, dancing, and acting at the same time, the boys set out to write the world’s very first musical.

(Preferably one with a house since hers is at the bottom of a Florida sinkhole). These women’s lives are further upended by the responsibility of caring for their free-spirited, ailing aunt and the realization that they are drowning under loads of family keepsakes and possessions nobody wants—especially them! With equal doses of hilarity and heart, these extraordinary women come up with delightful and surprisingly unorthodox ways to clear the clutter from their lives, their homes, and their relationships so they can move their lives forward. Together they prove it’s never too late to take another one of life’s paths for a grand new adventure.
