Middle-aged and married, overworked and overweight, Barney Chasman, played by Bill Pelletier, wants to join the sexual revolution before it's too late and arranges three seductions. The first, Elaine Navazio played by Wanda Morris, proved to be a foul-mouthed bundle of neuroses who likes cigarettes, whiskey, and other women's husbands. Bobbi Michele, played by Megan Biven, is a 20-ish actress who is too kooky for words. Finally comes Jeanette Fisher, played by Kimi Worstell-Laabs, who is a gloomy, depressed housewife who just happens to be married to Barney's best friend.
Kimi Worstell-Laabs makes her Corbin directorial debut with Suzanne Axon serving as stage manager. Deb Funkhouser is producing the play.
