The suitor versus the plague!  What happens when a young woman finds herself putting her dreams on hold to support those of her almost famous fiancé, and is then thrown into the mix of her parents’ struggles AND also happens upon her high school sweetheart?

Well, besides setting the stage for some both cantankerous and amusing scenes, the scenario also calls for some deep, heart-wrenching decisions.  The parents want to see their lovely daughter live an extraordinary life, a life that she deserves, but are concerned that she is making the wrong decision.

A Feminine Ending, playing through March 15, is the story of Amanda, a young woman with dreams of being a great composer.  When she happens across her high school sweet heart Billy, whom her parents adored and refer to as the suitor, she is already engaged to Jack.  Jack is an aspiring artist with his own manager and big record deal.  Amanda’s parents see Jack as the plague, not only for sharing a ‘friendly’ disease early in the relationship with their daughter, but perhaps also for inflicting a greater malady on their daughter, the loss of her dreams.
