Company OnStage Production Presents QUALITY OF LIFE

Company OnStage presents Quality of Life, by Jane Anderson, and directed by Neil Orts. Audience Advisory : This play explores a breadth of timely social issues - assisted suicide, medical marijuana, tolerance, and the many roles that spiritualism plays in our lives - with incredible insight and humor. PG - 13 Two wildly different couples - one New Age Liberal and the other Midwestern Conservative - meet one weekend in the wake of personal tragedies. Jeannette's husband, Neil, is dying of cancer.

When her cousin Dinah from Ohio comes for a visit with her husband, Bill, the two couples, one solidly on the left, the other resolute in their conservative Christian beliefs, are made to confront their huge dissimilarities and find understanding and value in everything around them. Through laughter, debate, empathy and ultimately love, can these couples from opposite backgrounds join together to find their common ground ?

Playwright Jane Anderson explores a myriad of ethical, religious, and moral beliefs, as well as (some would say) personal rights issues concerning li fe and death in her remarkable and completely engrossing new play, The Quality of Life.
