Description

Susan M. McConnell
Less than 10 minutes
2 men, 2 women

Eunice Pardee sees danger and intrigue around every corner of her Senior Living Community. Her husband and the security people are tired of her paranoid concerns, especially her latest one. She is convinced that the mysterious noises in the adjacent apartment signal danger.

From the playwright: “In our very large Active Senior Living Community, our Security Personnel get a range of calls. This play is based on strange noises this author heard and an exaggeration of where that might have led.”

From a Senior Theatre Director: Older actors have a lot of fun sinking their teeth into these solid, believable characters!
