Share Description
“Life is like a double-cheeseburger,” a father explains to his son at the start of this compilation of 16 individual scenes and monologues. All loosely centered around this delicious metaphor meant to represent the many layers of human existence, this play is both comedic and contemplative, healing and heartbreaking.
Played before an assortment of restaurant backdrops, we meet families, couples, friends, and waitstaff facing major life changes, following — or failing to follow — their dreams, and gulping down helpings of humor and humility along with their life lessons. And for every “order up,” there’s more proof that life, it turns out, really is like a double cheeseburger: full of endless possibilities, often messy and complicated, but always worth savoring.
This poignant play provides plenty of character work and is perfect for contest and public performances at schools and community theaters.
