In this charming romantic comedy centered around the Lower East Side of the Big Apple, Sandler explores womankind's age-old traditional roles as expressed by Bubbie, the sharp and feisty grandma, contrasted with the liberated "new woman" embodied in her twenty-something granddaughter, Isabelle. When the delightfully nosy Bubbie and her matchmaker friend arrange a date for "Izzy" with Sam, the local pickle vendor, a generational and cultural clash erupts, for Izzy has ideas of her own! But a generous dose of wit, affection, and wisdom resolves the conflict, and the play's end promises a new beginning. It's the perfect "date night" and a production all ages can enjoy together!

"…an amusing interlude for theatergoers who may have thought that simple romance and sentimentality had long since been relegated to television sitcoms…tells its unpretentious story believably, rarely trying to make its gag lines, of which there are many, upstage its narration or outshine its heart..." - The New York Times

"A warm and loving....addition to the growing body of Jewish dramatic work in this country." - Jewish Post and Opinion

Theatre Huntsville, formed in 1997 by a merger of The Huntsville Little Theatre (1950-1997) and The Twickenham Repertory Company, Inc. (1979-1997), is a voluntary association, organized under the laws of the State of Alabama as a corporation not for profit. The purpose of Theatre Huntsville is to foster, encourage, strengthen and perpetuate Member and civic interest in the legitimate theater and the dramatic arts, primarily through the production of theatrical performances. We typically present six live theatrical performances at the Von Braun Center Playhouse, as well as smaller programs at various venues in the city and surrounding areas. This includes our popular season extra, Shakespeare on the Mountain, which allows an al fresco outlet for performing works of, or selections from, the Bard as well as other classical authors. Furthermore, Theatre Huntsville endeavors to educate and train its Members, students and other interested members of the community in the areas of acting, direction, sets, lights, sound, make-up, costumes, properties, all other areas of stagecraft, and administrative management of community theater, through discussions, lectures, meetings, workshops, apprenticeships, tutorials, and on-the-job training conducted by members and other qualified personnel.
