The titular character Mary is a compulsively wise-cracking magazine editor who uses her sense of humor to shield her insecurities, while her ex-husband Bob is an infuriatingly sensible publisher. Their marriage ended in divorce and they haven't seen each other in 9 months, but now Mary has been called back to Bob's apartment by their mutual friend and lawyer, Oscar, in the hopes that they can avert an audit by the IRS. Throw in Bob's young fiancée Tiffany; his old war buddy, the handsome and single film hero whose star is in decline, Dirk Winston; and one major snow storm—and we have the makings of a bouncy comedy!

Founded in 1957 and now in its 69th season, Theatre Southwest (TSW) has consistently maintained a reputation for offering exciting, relevant theatre. Plays by the most interesting playwrights, presented by accomplished casts and directors, set the standard at TSW. As one of Houston's premier smaller venues, TSW has successfully proven over the years that an enjoyable night at the theatre can be richly rewarding and inexpensive. Comedy, drama, classics, and original plays are all part of TSW's heritage, and each season brings new and enthralling productions, offering live theatre at its best. Recently revitalized by a move to a beautiful new home (3939 Hillcroft, Suite 160, at the intersection of Hillcroft and Westpark), TSW will continue to offer bold, thought-provoking work to Houston audiences for years to come.
Theatre Southwest is at 3939 Hillcroft, Suite 160, Houston, TX.
