Chapter Two
A comedy by Neil Simon
May 15 – June 13, 2009
Directed by Craig Huisenga
"This is an excellent production of one of the very best plays of Neil Simon. Excellent performances." by Hitch, San Diego Theatre Scene (read more)
We are all familiar with the typically witty Neil Simon plays, but Chapter Two is a richer, more engrossing tale. It’s a rocky road for two not-so-young lovers in Simon’s semi-autobiographical play. Laughter and heartache mix as a recent widower and divorcée struggle to commit or not to commit.
“Lovely, whimsical and touching.” (N.Y. Post).
Rated PG (Adult Situations).
