Jo Rake’s first theatre role was as Mary in a first grade Nativity play. More interested in singing and dance, it took many years before Jo found her way back to the stage but she has been a theatre devotee ever since, both on the stage as an actor and behind the scenes as director, stage manager, costumer, board member and performance judge. Jo is a founding member of a senior theatre company that performs at senior residences and living centers. She began writing plays using the antics of her family and neighbors as well as just her imagination as inspiration. In ‘real life,’ Jo is a mostly retired CPA.
A hilarious take on something we've all done--misplace a cell phone while finding other goodies.
It’s David and Janet Riley’s wedding anniversary and David has forgotten--again. No plans, no gift, nothing. So Janet has made her own plans--a trip to Hawaii. Now, to convince David!
Double bubble, a love potion is twice the trouble with expired ingredients and not-helpful sisters.
Those automatic phone services! They don’t seem to understand what you say and they have too many choices. But David's wife knows how to get past all of those annoying menus.
Jay and Amanda are a couple waiting to happen--or are they? An under-five soccer game seems an odd place to find a companion but maybe the grandkids are the key.
