Independence Day at Happy Meadows Laura King

Full-Length Play WINNER of the 2016 SETC/Stage Rights Ready to Publish Award! This riotous laugh-out-loud comedy proves growing old doesn't mean growing feeble. It's the 4th of July and the women of Happy Meadows Nursing Home have independence in mind! They're fed up with the rules, the regulations, and especially the food. When senior resident Holly receives a cry for help from her grandson, she rallies her comrades-in-arms and the women plot a break out. Will Holly and her friends succeed? Perhaps with some fireworks, a large can of creamed corn, and extensive lengths of rope, they might just have what it takes to outsmart the thoroughly vexed retirement home director. (Cast: 5F, 1M)
