DIVORCE - SOUTHERN STYLE
SEPTEMBER  28 – OCTOBER 28
a comedy by Jennifer jarrett     
directed by larry schwartz

be careful what you wish for. . .  you may get him back!

Starring Sandy Schwartz, Donnie Neubauer, Martha Prentiss, Joe De Mott, Evie Armstrong and Ryan Ripley

This fast-paced, wildly funny farce centers on the zany schemes of a middle-aged divorcee who decides that the time is ripe to get back together with her ex-husband. Divorced for fifteen years, and running low on cash, Eleanor Bander decides reconciliation with her ex-husband (whose second wife died the year before) is her best hope. To lure him within striking range, she tells him that their daughter is about to be married—hinting that it is a forced situation—when the truth is that the daughter is merely engaged again (for the fifth time) to her long-standing fiancé. The ex-husband, Walter, not only arrives but brings along his current flame, a former classmate who was Eleanor’s competition from high-school days.

“…charming, warm and full of humor"
Cape Cod Times

"...oldfriends.com does a word perfect job of capturing cranky-but-caring Cape Codder Katherine Whittemore and her longtime friend, glamorous British actress Valerie Kent."
Cape Cod Times

"What lifts this play above many other current offerings both in theater and on film is its good natured, civil toned and delightful message about the value of a sense of humor. 
There is no obscene jokes or scenes, yet the audience chuckled and burst out in laughter dozens of times.

GLOBE AWARD WINNING ACTRESSES 
PAULA JO PETERSON and SANDY SCHWARTZ  
Coined the “Lucy and Ethel of San Antonio comedy,” Paula Jo and Sandy will teamed up to bring their comedic brilliance to the stage in  Oldfriends.com.  The play presents the correspondence between two old friends throughout a year in their lives via the computer. One lives on Cape Cod, the other in London. Their friendship started in New York City many years ago where the two aspiring actresses met at an audition. Along with four other actresses, they all were roommates while trying to make it on Broadway. They lives all took different paths. These two have been maintaining a friendship over the years via the telephone and letters, but the computer changes all that when they begin using e-mail daily. Steven Stoli, who directs the play, said, “ Paula and Sandy have been together for 15 years, it is just magic to put these two ladies into a show about friendship.”

Seething with political and religious scandals. This comedy revolves around the failing presidential campaign of Gabby Sandalson, a regular guy whose integrity has all but crippled his bid for the White House.
