Phoenix Theatre Presents: Tokens of Affection

Frank Garrett is caught completely off-guard when Jackie, his wife of 37 years, announces she’s leaving. Her only explanation? “You don’t send me flowers.” Frank seeks solace and answers at the New York apartment of his son Charlie, a video game designer. When Charlie calls his sister Claire in a panic, he discovers Jackie has found refuge at Claire’s Connecticut home. Via a series of telephone conspiracies, the siblings join forces on a mission to get their parents back together – and more importantly, back in their own home. But complications arise when Frank is introduced to Rita, the lovely widow across the hall. This contemporary comedy about marriage and families will have audiences in stitches. Tickets: $20, available at www.sheldontheatre.org/events or by calling 651-388-8700.
