“When life comes knocking you don’t want it to find you on the couch in a soiled bathrobe. ”
Norm Foster’s quick wit is strong in this lighthearted buddy comedy about living life to its fullest.
Barry is annoyed that he’s already living in a seniors’ home at sixty-seven, but it’s worth it to live near his daughter, Rosie. Rosie, who works at the home, brought him in so he wouldn’t be alone in case he has a heart attack like his father, brother, and uncle did before they were sixty-five. So Barry spends his time shuffling around in his slippers, taking naps, and having dinner with Rosie, and that’s good enough for him.
But Barry doesn’t get to revel in the quiet for long. Enter the loquacious and flirtatious Jonas, who wrote one hit song thirty-seven years ago. Jonas likes to indulge in the finer things in life, like decadent dates and nice clothes, and he sees Barry the curmudgeon as a fixer-upper. As they bicker and bond over women, sports, and family values, Jonas and Barry must learn to open up and face how to keep living their lives.
‘Jonas and Barry in the Home’ opens April 12 and runs until May 5 with performances Friday and Saturday at 7:30 (Doors open at 7:00) and matinees on Sunday at 2:00 (doors open at 1:30.)
Ticket holders for opening night April 12 will be invited to a post-curtain meet and greet reception with the cast and crew featuring the wines of Hester Creek and treats from Honey Toast on Front Street.
Ticket holders on ‘Second Opening’ April 13 will also be invited to a post-show reception featuring the craft beers of Cannery Brewing and more goodies from Honey Toast.
