Lanford Wilson's Pulitzer Prize–winning comedy is a joyful and moving production. Directed by David Troup it features Ryan Jackson (Casablanca, Lucky Guy) and River Lombardi (Master Class, Lucky Guy).

Everyman Rep presents this wonderful, funny and heart-warming play about finding love when you stopped looking.At the end of World War II, Matt Friedman, a Jewish immigrant who has spent his life keeping others at a distance, returns to the small town where he first met Sally Talley. Nothing like her conservative Protestant family and neighbors, Sally is a nurse with deep misgivings about the country’s future. After a lifetime of believing they’ll never truly belong in the world around them, Matt has worked up the courage to ask Sally for her hand, and convince her that they do belong—together.
