Description

Carl Williams
20 minute comedy
2 men, 2 women

Harvey likes life just fine where he is, thank you very much. He’s got his potato chips, his TV remote, his comfortable chair. Retirement is great! He’s even started to help a bit with all of the housework. All he needs now is a huge stamp that says, “NO” to moving to a different retirement community.
Vera likes it here, too. She’s made friends with the neighbors, like her jogging partner Mr. Musterman. Who,”gets into a rhythm and just keeps going. He has to hold himself back.”
But once this Mr. “Muscleman” reveals his attraction to Vera, Harvey comes to realize it’s time to make friends with some new neighbors after all.
