Set in a cottage located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, we are introduced to Grace, a feisty clear-thinking, straight talking 90 year old cancer patient who has checked herself out of the hospital and returned to her cottage to die alone. She is joined by uptight, Harvard educated and meticulously trained hospice worker, Gloria, who is a transplant to this rural area from New York City.

This production is the story of two ordinary, but very real women, one of the reasons director Kelly Barnum was drawn to this play. Portraying these characters in a realistic fashion is Barnum’s focus during the rehearsal process. “They are not caricatures, but two women who have been brought up in two different worlds and must find a common ground between them”.

Overall, Barnum hopes audiences will see how Grace and Gloria, search, and ultimately find, the power of love and connection. Join us for this “poignant comedy about love, loss, and the search for meaning in all our lives.
