FROM THE DIRECTOR:
In Neil Simon's classic contemporary comedy, Unger and Madison are at it again. Only this time it is Florence Unger and Olive Madison and instead of poker, the girls and their uniquely entertaining friends gather for an evening of Trivial Pursuit. Needless to say the hilarity (and insanity) soon ensues and is eventually aided and abetted by their neighbors, the hilarious Constanzuela brothers. Enough amazing characters and frenetic happenings occur, thereby allowing the comic cup to indeed "runneth over".   

CHARACTERS: 
Age range:  35 to 50, dependent on reading and match-ups 

Olive Madison - Successful prime time news producer, major sports fan, and unrepentant slob.  “I make a mess when I read a book.”  Big hearted, but she has her limits. 

Florence Unger - Neurotic, anal-retentive, neat freak.  Her marriage is on the rocks and she turns to Olive for shelter and companionship.  

Mickey - Tough cop and proud of it.  

Renee - Loves hearing and sharing gossip. 

Sylvie - Wisecracking and sometimes sarcastic 

Vera - Naïve and a bit of a ditz 

Manolo - Charming Spaniard; struggling with language skills

 Jesus - Manolo’s brother, also charming, also struggling, very homesick
