San Francisco. 1986.

Barbara, his young lesbian writing teacher at the senior center is stunned. Harry’s letter sets off a series of life-changing events that neither could have foreseen.

The musical has lyrics by Laura I. Kramer with additional lyrics by Cheryl Stern, music by Ellen M. Schwartz, and a book by Ellen M. Schwartz, Cheryl Stern, Laura I. Kramer and Jerry James.
