About this event: My Old Lady by Israel Horovitz Directed by Rick Bernstein Starring: Patty Mintz Figel, Ken Street, Paige L. Larson When a down on his luck middle aged man inherits an apartment in Paris, he plans to solve his financial woes by selling it. He arrives on the doorstep and discovers, to his dismay, that the elderly woman living there has lifetime habitation rights under an arcane French law and she is not about to give them up. Because he has no other place to go, she invites him to stay in the spacious apartment. A spiral of friendship, romance with the old lady's outspoken daughter and some uncomfortable revelations about his unmourned father affect all in this poignant play with strong roles for all three actors.
