A touching comedy by Maureen Paraventi, directed by Rachel Flynn.
Freshwater Theatre presents The Bucket List of Booze Club, a regional premiere by Maureen Paraventi!
Collette's battle with cancer forces her to confront a lifetime's worth of regrets and face the fact that her smart, ambitious daughter Ree-Ree idolizes her "Aunt Jen" much more than herself. Jen is a successful lawyer who's been unsuccessful in love and is coming to the realization that she may be forever single. Lively grandmother Mary Ann has a much younger boyfriend, Eric, who inadvertently makes her feel old, while Amy is coping with classic "Sandwich generation" challenges: an empty nest, an ailing parent, and a dull, unsatisfying marriage.
This incredible script will have you laughing until the moment you're sobbing as a group of friends help one another navigate more than one kind of change of life in their 50s!
The show will be directed by Freshwater Theatre company member Rachel Flynn, who previously co-directed Size at the Minnesota Fringe.
