On an ordinary day in a routine life, an 80-year-old widower named Ralph decides to takes a different path on his daily walk - one that leads him to an unexpected second chance at love. Relying on a renewed boyish charm, Ralph attempts to woo the elegant, but distant, Carol. Defying Carol's reticence - and the jealousy of his lonely sister Rose - he embarks on the trip of a lifetime and regains a happiness that seemed all but lost. The Last Romance is a heart-warming comedy about the transformational power of love.

In addition to Ross and Michael, the cast of The Last Romance includes Patricia Conolly (Rose Tagliatelle) and Joshua Jeremiah (The Young Man).

The creative team includes Alexander Dodge (Scenic Design), Charlotte Devaux (Costume Design), Chris Rynne (Lighting Design), Paul Peterson (Sound Design) and Lavinia Henley (Stage Manager).
