This show is a Pulitzer Prize-winning comedic play in three acts. ‘Grandpa’ quit working 35 years ago because he wasn’t having any fun, and he’s been a happy man ever since, practicing darts, having nightly sidewalk chats with the police officer who is really a doctor and playing neither mind nor money to the Internal Revenue Service.

Cinderella
