LAKEFRONT TO Make U.S. Premiere At Theatre 40
Norm Foster's new comedy will be directed by Larry Eisenberg at the Mary Levin Cutler Theatre.
Ever get the feeling you've lost your moxie?
Retirees Christina and Robert were feeling that way when they met at a wedding a few weeks ago. During the reception, their intoxicated selves concocted an idea to help them get over their respective anxieties. Renting a lakefront cabin seemed like a great idea at the time---but now that they're sober, they have to go through with it. They have rented a lakefront cabin together to see if spending a night or two together, to test the intimacy waters, can help them find their mojo again. What could go wrong?
