This hilarious comedy explores the Upper West Side milieu of aspiring intellectual and middle-aged upper class matron Marjorie Taub, who lives comfortably with her doctor husband Ira in an expensively furnished apartment near Zabar’s. Marjorie spends her mornings at the Whitney, afternoons at MOMA and evenings at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
 
 
Marjorie's ongoing effort to improve her mind and soul has brought her to the conclusion she never will be more than mediocre. To make matters worse, her therapist has just died and coupled with her dissatisfaction with her life, her elderly mother's constant complaints and her husband's altruistic dedication to the homeless, she has an emotional outburst in a Disney Store resulting in considerable breakage.
 
 
Plunged into a mid-life crisis of Medea-like proportions, Marjorie is shaken out of her lethargy by the reappearance of Lee, a fascinating and somewhat mysterious childhood friend. Unexpectedly Lee becomes entrenched in the Taub household as a seemingly permanent guest, and what happens next surprises all of them.

Kentwood Players is a non-profit community theater organization in the Westchester neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.

History

Kentwood Players got its start (and its name) when members of the PTA at Kentwood Elementary School in Westchester, having presented a play at the school, decided to keep on presenting plays. So in 1950 they founded a community theater organization, which has been going strong ever since.

The young organization went through a series of home stages—a barn, a pump house, and a restaurant—until 1960, when the players bought an old warehouse and transformed it into a 112-seat proscenium-stage theater, the Westchester Playhouse.
