The cast consists of Morgan Diaz as Corie Bratter, David Beane as Paul Bratter, Connie Beane as Mrs. Banks, Bob O'Rourke as Victor Velasco and Matt Cortinas as the telephone man. Gail Spinn plays double duty portraying the delivery person and working as the stage manager.

In the play, newlyweds Corie and Paul Bratter are beginning life together in their first apartment. He is an up-and-coming lawyer, and she is set on becoming the perfect wife, even though she is somewhat of a free spirit. Corie's mother, Mrs. Banks, is lonely now that Corie is married, and like any mother would, she dotes on her daughter. The neighbors in the Bratter's building are a varied bunch of characters. Victor Velasco befriends the couple and adds to the fun, according to the theater's playbill.
