Three generations of a family prepare to celebrate the upcoming birthday of the youngest member. Doing so, however, forces them to come to terms with past relationships, past decisions and past actions involving a long-ago family tragedy in Playwright Ken Lay's new drama having its Santa Monica debut Friday, January 11th through January 13th, 2019. First presented as a Readers Theatre at the Seventh Street Theatre in Chino, the play has been called both side-splittingly funny and heartbreaking.
