Parts are available for three adult female and three younger male actors ages 10-17. Actors will have an opportunity to present a short (one minute or less) comedic or dramatic monologue.

The play is the story of Mrs.Molly Kingsley, a retired high school chemistry teacher in her eighties who is struggling with dementia. Gramms, as she is called by her family, navigates her life beyond the boundaries of time and space with consequences both humorous and sobering. Accompanying her on her emotional journey are her divorced daughter, an older teenage grandson and his younger brother, Mrs. Kingsley’s nurse, and a former student.
