the sassy dinettes, Prudie and Rhetta Cupp, run the Double Cupp
diner next door. Between changing tires and baking pies, the gang
performs a rousing, down-home mix of country western, rock 'n' roll
and blues in this charming tale of friendship, romance and life's
simple pleasures. Performances are Thursday through Sunday evenings

an equally successful lawyer. Living with the happy couple is the
not so happy Abe Dreyfus, Jerry's curmudgeon of a father in law. Abe
is a funny guy to the audience, not to Jerry. The situation is
exacerbated when Jerry's mother Mildred looses her house in a fire
and needs a place to stay. Abe and Mildred can't stand each other.
This play is one hilarious confrontation after anther until the
heart warming finale in which the oldsters discover that, really,
