Description

Bill DiPaolo
less than 10 minute comedy
2 women

Velma is outraged—her daughter wants the car keys, but she’s not about to hand over her independence without a fight. With Abby as her quick-witted partner in crime, the two friends serve up laugh-out-loud commentary on aging, freedom, and life’s curveballs. While her driving tales are priceless, Velma’s stubborn streak is the real star of the show. Just when it seems she’ll give in, she hatches a rebellious plan revealing a whole lot of sass. This two-character comedy gives older actors a chance to shine with humor, heart, and a reminder that growing older doesn’t mean giving up the fun.
