Here in a hospital room, Ben Lyons (played by John Q. Bruce) is dying of cancer. His wife Rita (Mary Jane Nottage) and grown children have gathered to his side. But not to comfort him. In fact, Rita is focused on redecorating the house, while their daughter Lisa (Catherine Remick) is trying to stay sober, and their son Curtis (Sean McCormick) is trying to disconnect from everyone. No one is safe from the curse of kinship as they voice their private thoughts out loud, blame each other, and fill CVLT's smaller stage with dark humor and a savage honesty, searching for connection and finding it in unexpected places.

The production is directed by Yvonne Pilarczyk and produced by Cindee Catalano-Edelman. The cast also includes Lisa Lazarczyk as the nurse and Justin Steck as Brian.

Tickets are $12, and may be purchased at CVLT.org, by calling 440-247-8955, or at the Chagrin Valley Little Theatre Box Office located at 40 River St. in Chagrin Falls. Box Office hours are 1 - 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday.
