The Kids Left. The Dog Died. Now What? is a musical comedy saluting those valiantly struggling with divorce on their hands, gravity on their bodies, grandchildren on their self-images and the dating scene on their egos. 

This entertaining musical takes a humorous and heartfelt look at a host of midlife crises and the day-to-day concerns of the over-fifty “empty-nester” crowd, including everything from retirement to dating, plastic surgery, divorce and grandparenting. The risks and uncertainties of being alive come alive through song and scene. Aging gracefully is the final frontier!
