Open Auditions for Send Me No Flowers
Written by Norman Barasch and Carroll Moore
Directed by Toshik Bukowiecki
George Kimball is a Westchester commuter whose favourite hobby is hypochondria. When he mistakenly overhears his doctor discussing another patient with heart trouble, he prepares to meet his end bravely. George begins to put his affairs in order and even arranges a good second husband for his soon-to-be widow, along with a cemetery plot for three: himself, his wife, and the new future Mr. Kimball.
