Asolo Rep announces additional casting for award-winning Managing Maxine, Janece Shaffer's new play that takes a straight forward look at sex, love and life after 70.
The cast features Howard Elfman as Louis, the role he originated last season in the world premiere of Managing Maxine at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta. Maxine is played by popular resident actress Sharon Spelman who returns to the Asolo Rep stage after a two year hiatus. Completing the ensemble of seven are Granville Van Dusen, Mackenzie Kyle, Jud Williford, Bethany Weise, and Geraldine Librandi.
Having been widowed, the bold seventy-one year old Maxine Levine has decided to ask a handsome judge, Arthur, on a date. This play explores the bitter and sweet sides of dating as a senior citizen: timeworn bodies
with energetic hearts, the mourning of lost spouses, and balancing between family needs and new found loves.
With time nipping at Maxine's heels, she discovers how important it is to embrace life and love regardless of age. This humorous and thought provoking play was inspired by the true story of a couple who lives part time in Sarasota.
