naked man on the couch

Richard Davis, Jr.
20 minute comedy
1 man, 3 women
The odds of Harriet, Sophie and Mildred having fun in Vegas take a nose dive on the morning of their flight to Vegas. Just as they’re about to leave home, the three roommates discover a stranger, sleeping soundly (and naked?) under a blanket on their couch. Along with the police, a dead cat, and Elvis Presley, the women figure out a plan that’s a winning solution for everyone!

No nudity, just laughs!

What they say about the play:

    • “The Naked Man on the Couch” was a huge hit!” The Provincials
    • “We loved performing “The Naked Man on the Couch.” It was so much fun for both the actors and the audiences.” Sun City Players
    • It was our pleasure to produce “The Naked Man on the Couch” for our senior audiences. They came intrigued by the title and left delighted by a play that celebrated women’s friendships with humor and drama. Sondra Ilgenfritz, Managing Artistic Director, Atlanta’s Theatre-To-Go
    • “I really enjoyed reading about what prompted the writing of “The Naked Man on the Couch.” This is the play my dad was so excited about doing at his retirement community when he was in the final rehearsal. And then, Dad’s health declined the next day. My brother stepped in to Dad’s role and did the play twice! Everyone who saw this play loved it!!”  Vicki S.
