Forty years ago, composer/lyricist Harris Wellborn wrote an off-Broadway musical which closed after one performance. This comedy finds the now elderly tunesmith down on his luck, living in a run-down apartment building dependent on the charity of this domineering sister – yet still dreaming of making it on Broadway. The laughs unfold when the literate and witty Harris is thrown together with the flaky young woman who lives down the hall. His life then takes a hilarious turn when her scheming boyfriend comes up with a devious plan to cash in on Harris’ past.
Roles are 2 males and 2 females.
Harris Wellborn: a bright, witty, somewhat whimsical man in his late 70’s.
Maggie Bellows: Harris’ sister; a no-nonsense, take-chargewoman in her 60’s.
Kim Sutton: a sweet, naïve, not terribly bright young woman in her early 20’s.
Jason Sernach: a street-smart fellow in his mid-20’s. Kim’s boyfriend.
