The Waterville Opera House will present an astounding, laugh-a-minute production of the hilarious comedic farce about a not-so-serene retirement, “Ripcord”. Opening Friday, June 14, this production will run through Sunday, June 23 at the Waterville Opera House, 1 Common St., in downtown Waterville.
Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. June 14, 15, 21 and 22 and at 2 p.m. June 16 and 23.
A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, so when cantankerous Abby is forced to share her room with new-arrival Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary. A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden. This show is funny, hilariously inappropriate, and heartfelt!
