This world premiere comedy, written by Charlotte Booker and directed by Mark Shanahan, stars two-time Tony Award winner Judith Ivey as Brenda, a waitress at a small-town diner where a group of senior men meet regularly for breakfast. As Brenda struggles with the sudden death of her oldest friend, the Club members squabble over the eulogy, a mysterious stranger threatens the town's equilibrium, and her daughter teeters on the brink of a meltdown. The play explores friendship, family, and the question of whether anyone ever truly grows up.
