Just talking and of course they don’t know how funny they are. Each has had one or more previous marriages and perhaps a few flings, but they are hazy as to details. In fact, they don’t always know which one the other one is. Tickets are on sell at the Rome Community Theater box office on the day of the performance. General admission is $10.00.
