In the process, they’ll discover hidden talents and realize long forgotten dreams; and most important, they’ll be reminded that there is much more to be gained in their lives from friendship, love, and acceptance.
This group of baby boomers tackles this challenge with a team spirit most haven’t used in decades. They work together to put on a money-making, show-stopping performance to save Sunny Vistas and quickly learn that there is no substitute for experience and…
They’re not done yet!
