When Gertie receives a fishing pole from her husband on their 50th wedding anniversary—instead of the ring she’d been promised—she begins to consider drastic measures. Encouraged (and occasionally egged on) by her lifelong friends, Imogene and Jezzie, Gertie weighs the pros and cons of finally getting rid of her “problem.”
This dark comedy is filled with laugh-out-loud moments, while also sparking a deeper conversation about marriage, friendship, and aging in our society.
Set in a small Midwestern town in 1993—with a flashback to 1942—the play blends outrageous humor with touching reflections on the lives we choose (or have chosen for us).
Hillsboro Artists' Regional Theatre is at PO Box 552, Hillsboro, OR.
