FERN HILL by Michael Tucker
(3W, 3M)
Productions: 59E59 Theatres; NJ Rep
Three couples in their golden years, thick as thieves, are gathered at Sunny and Jer's farmhouse to celebrate milestone birthdays that span three decades. The foundation of their long friendship is honesty and support – as well as a commitment to the enjoyment of food, wine and laughter. They're so close that Sunny suggests that they all move in together—to live and work and assist one another as they grow older. Their companionship is put to the test, however, when a marital betrayal is discovered. The bonds of loyalty and truth are explored in this mature comedy.

THE 'M' SPOT by Michael Tucker

Jerry and Maddie have been married–forever–and are looking for something to recapture the former vitality of their marriage. They've been thru the mill when it comes to therapists and well-meaning advice, so when the opportunity arises for them to go on a retreat to a new-age spa, complete with nude massages, Jerry is all for it, but Maddie, who is a bit more reserved, is naturally skeptical about the process and his motives.
