Art Shulman
20 minute comedy
1 man, 1 woman

Rachel takes Jake out to dinner, they go back to her apartment for a game of scrabble, and because there’s a big snowstorm, to be safe, he spends the night on her couch. She was expecting a bit more than a game of scrabble. He was expecting she’d not simply leave his bagel in the kitchen, but deliver it to him.

Even though the roads are still dangerous, maybe she just drive him home because they’re really not that compatible. Or are they?  This sweet romantic comedy touches on a lot of themes related to dating as older people in just a short time!

Also see Art Shulman’s new plays Peacocks Pep Talk in both a women’s version and a men’s version about over 60 baseball teams. “This show has great characters in a fast moving play,” says a recent director, “it was so much fun!”
