Description

George Sauer
25-30 minute comedy
2 either

Two old friends have come out of retirement to become lifeguards at their local beach. They soon wonder if they are up to the task and more importantly if they can get along in their confined space.

This deceptively light comedy reveals significant insights into the problems of living longer…a fresh and delightful spin on the “buddy” genre. Beverly Creasey, Boston Arts Review

 …this is rich material for older actors. It was my pleasure to share the playwright’s unique take on life lessons in this charming comedy.  Paul Eisemen, NYC actor and director who originated the role of ‘Paul’
