Independence Day at Happy Meadows

by Laura King

September 19 - October 18, 2025

Growing old doesn't mean growing feeble... It's the 4th of July and the women of Happy Meadows Nursing Home have independence in mind! They're fed up with the rules, the regulations, and especially the food. When senior resident Holly receives a cry for heop from her grandson, she rallies her comrades-in-arms and the women plot a break out. Will Holly and her friends succeed? Perhaps with some fireworks, a large cam of creamed corn, and extensive lengths of rope, they might just have what it takes to outsmart the throughly vexed retimrement home director.

This play was directed by Judy Reeves & Soraya Ahmadi and featured Jen Norten, Marylin Faulkner, Pamela Branstetter, Peggy Butler, Julie Burks & David Coles with Sam Martinez backstage.
