“Eat my pickles. Wear clean underwear. Marry a doctor.”
- Bubbies of Los Angeles
A sweet, funny, heartfelt love story, with a supremely simple set (two chairs, playing a car and a doctor's office),
THE LILAC TICKET is a showcase for two mature actors with a touch for light comedy. The play has delighted audiences around the US, and as far afield as Australia, India, Mexico, and Panama. Maybe your theatre next?
