A sophisticated couple's home is invaded by the wife's prudish sister, uptight brother-in-law, and quintessential Jewish mother. Sexuality pervades the relationships from the college daughter, on through the married couples, to Mom and her new artist friend. The social security turns out to be a never-to-late attitude to start up a new relationship in the AARP years. This show is a comedy enjoyable for adults.

Can a timid older woman owning only ten shares of a major corporation shake up the annual meeting by asking the right questions of the board of directors? Can they offer her a phony job to hush her up? Will she take the job seriously? Will the little people triumph over the powerful board? This play makes great fun of it all. It's a comedy that's suitable for all ages.

Lee Blessing has written a sensitive and probing play that examines the subtle and often perilous relationship between three remarkable women. The Grandmother, Dorothea, who has sought to assert her independence through strong willed eccentricity. Her brilliant daughter, Artie, who has fled the stifling domination of her mother. And Artie's daughter Echo, a child of exceptionable intellect who Artie has abandoned to an upbringing by Dorothea.
