Synopsis:

This is a story of 2 opposites coming together and learning from each other. The play is similar to Steel Magnolias in its use of humor to soften the tearjerker moments. Glorie, learning how the other half lives, provides laughter but cannot be played for laughs or slapstick. Grace has accepted her fate and Glorie has to get accustomed to her sometimes sharp delivery and laisse faire attitude, Grace also is naturally funny and her delivery needs to be matter of fact, not punched up for laughs.
