SOCIAL SECURITY

Trendy Manhattan art gallery owners’ lives are upended when ‘Barbara’s nerdy sister deposits their eccentric mother on the couple's doorstep. They introduce ‘Sophie’ to a suave nonagenarian artist who offers to paint her portrait and soon begins to brighten her life in ways she never expected in her twilight years. Performing this hilarious comedy are Clair Gardner, Jeffrey Siddall, Stephanie Larragoite, Jenny Miller, Joel D. Miller and Jim Pinkston. Bergman is an American screenwriter, film director, novelist and playwright. His best-known films include Blazing Saddles, The In-Laws, The Freshman and Striptease. Social Security was the first play he wrote, starring Marlo Thomas and Ron Silver, which opened on Broadway in 1986. This will be director, Lewis Hauser’s third time directing this play. “It is different for me each time. Social Security is a modern throwback to those great screwball comedies of yesteryear. It is a comedy with heart. In my opinion, all great comedies must have at least one poignant moment. In Social Security it's the budding romance of the older couple, proving that the magic of true love can transform even the most cynical of us into true believers, no matter what the age. The play also happens to be hysterically funny.” Performers
