The premise is classic Neil Simon:  a newlywed couple (Kerry Bishé and Chris Lowell) are trying to start their lives together as husband and wife in New York. But a entirely-too-nosy mother, an eccentric neighbor and a badly thought out double date mean that their start isn’t going to be as easy as they imagined. Thankfully this is perfect Neil Simon territory where he can examine the nature of love with his trademark humor.

Jessica Stone directs the production which also features Jere Burns, Mia Dillon, John Garcia and Jake Millgard. Time will tell if Simon’s humor still holds up in our fast-paced, technology-addicted world. But a play about juggling life, love and work sounds like just what the doctor ordered.
