We are excited to announce, along with sponsor Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, the cast of the upcoming heartwarming comedy “Moonglow”, written by Kim Carney, and directed by Ann Harper.
“Moonglow” follows Maxine, a feisty, bitter Alzheimer’s victim who doesn’t want to move into a nursing facility. But when she meets Joe, a widower who shares her love for dance, her outlook begins to change. Although the two clash when lucid, their hazy memories overlap, and they begin an affair that rejuvenates and fulfills them. But can these lovers – played simultaneously
by an elderly twosome and a young, vivacious couple – stay together despite their families’ wishes and their fading vitality?

Wilson was most recently seen in “To Kill A Mockingbird”, and while Ressler hasn’t been seen on the TAPA stage in awhile, she’s delighted to return.
