“A tender and intelligent romantic comedy.”
~ BroadwayWorld ~
“A warm and winning romantic comedy.”
~ Chicago Sun-Times ~
When two cautious strangers meet later in life, polite conversation quickly takes flight — sparked by sharp wit and surprising confessions. As Peg and Irving navigate the tender awkwardness of starting over, they discover that hope can appear when you least expect it. Witty and uplifting, Kalamazoo is a sophisticated romantic comedy about second chances, unexpected connection, and the courage to spread your wings at any age.
With humor, heart, and sparkling banter, this delightful two-character comedy reminds us that it’s never too late for a new beginning. Inspired by the graceful persistence of migrating cranes, Kalamazoo celebrates the bravery it takes to take a leap, trust the moment, and discover that second chances can soar.
