The play follows Josh, whose life is unraveling, as he receives unconventional support from his grandparents. Their unsolicited advice, judgments, and antics—like dragging him to Jazzercise—form the heart of the story, blending humor with themes of family and healing. The show runs 2 hours and 15 minutes, including an intermission, and includes strobe lighting, loud sound effects, mature content, and profanity. It is recommended for ages 12 and up, with children under 10 not admitted.
Performances are scheduled for Thursday and Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., Sunday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., with additional shows on July 15-17 and 19-20 at 8 p.m. or 2 p.m. Special events include a Community Meetup Night on July 10, 11, 15, and 17, an ASL-interpreted show on July 13 at 2 p.m., and a Talkback Wednesday on July 16 at 8 p.m., with limited availability noted.
