Grand Horizons by Bess Wohl

Directors: Brett Harston and Anne Robinson

Dates: April 24 to May 12, 2024

Bess Wohl’s Tony-nominated comedy, Grand Horizons, is a gentle, funny, heartbreaking commentary on marriage, family, and the wisdom that comes with age - or not.

Nancy, a woman in her 70s, is ready to make a change and divorce her husband Bill. The couple’s adult sons Ben and Brian are shell shocked by their parents’ unexpected announcement and thrust into their own identity crises.

Bursting with all the joy and pathos of everyday life, Grand Horizons is theatre at its most enjoyable and familiar. Don’t miss this hilarious and ultimately very moving portrayal of the way we all try (and sometimes fail) to live our best lives.

As the family grapples with their new reality, each must reckon with their own imperfect past and how their collective love for each other might express itself in new and unlikely forms.
