Synopsis:

The play is set in the small town of Mesalia, Ohio in the weeks leading to Christmas in the late 1930s. The famously outlandish New York City radio with Sheridan Whiteside (‘Sherry’ to his friends) is invited to dine at the house of the well-to-do factory owner Ernest W. Stanley and his family. But before Whiteside can enter the house, he slips on a patch of ice outside the Stanleys’ front door and injures his hip. Then he’s confined to the Stanleys’ home. That’s where everything starts to happen…..

ALL THE DAYS Sharyn Rothstein

ALL THE DAYS – February 17, 18, 19, 24 and 25

Miranda has done everything in her power to create a family completely different than the one she came from. But after a painful loss, Miranda suffers a lapse in judgment and invites her hilarious, complicated, and self-destructive mother, Ruth, to stay with her before her son’s bar mitzvah. As other needy family members show up in search of connection and second chances, Miranda’s already-strained relationship with her family is pulled to its breaking point. With all the kin in one place, will they all stay in one piece? A warm, heart-filled comedy about the scars of childhood and finding love, all grown up.
