Directed by: Michael Bailey Comedy-Drama, The play is about a Broadway singer who has just completed a 10-week drying-out period at a sanitarium. It tells the tale of a troubled woman and her misfit friends portrayed with loving compassion and humor. In the 1970's, Evy Meara, a recovering alcoholic, is welcomed home from rehab by her loyal friends and teenage daughter. A 43 year old singer/actress, Evy's rehab was precipitated by a disastrous relationship with a guitar player ten years her junior. Evy's closest male friend is Jimmy Perry, a forty-year-old actor who is still waiting for his big break. Her best girlfriend is Toby, an aging glamour queen who can't seem to hang onto her husband. And Evy's ex-boyfriend is a thoughtless freeloader who tries to weasel his way back into her affections when he is dumped by his latest 18 year old conquest. The only relatively well-adjusted person in this play is Evy's sweet and loving daughter, Polly. Neil Simon is the master of the one line gag and the first act of "The Gingerbread Lady" is rife with them. We never consciously notice the clever character development because we're always laughing too hard, but believe me, it's there. Simon has crafted a play full of the most lovable losers you'll ever want to meet. Production Dates: Friday - September 20th - 8:00 PM
