ADOPT A SAILOR

Additional Information

A comedy about war, love, thumbsuckers, & hankerings.

It's Fleet Week in New York City, when sailors returning from or shipping out for duty hit the town for a few days of freedom and fun. A young navy corpsman from Arkansas signs up for the Adopt-A-Sailor program, expecting to share a homecooked meal with a local family before leaving port. But when he shows up at the door of Patricia and Richard, an affluent, dysfunctional New York couple, they have forgotten all about agreeing to host him. What follows is a sometimes excruciating, sometimes tender, sometimes funny evening spent over a haphazard meal of takeout and cereal, as small-town innocence clashes against Manhattan sophistication and the unlikely companions voice their frustrations and fears, cracking open their tiny worlds a bit to embrace a larger perspective on life. ADOPT A SAILOR is produced by special arrangement with Broadway Play Publishing Inc, NYC, www.broadwayplaypub.com
