Lunch at the Piccadilly

Overview

Lunch at the Piccadilly is a new musical comedy written by two noted North Carolinians, best-selling author Clyde Edgerton and composer Mike Craver, a founding member of the Red Clay Ramblers, and is directed by Steve Umberger. With 20 great songs of almost every imaginable style, this funny and heartwarming show takes place on the rocking porch of the Rosehaven Convalescence Center. Unable to keep up with the times, Rosehaven is being sold to Ballard College. Nothing is supposed to change, but the residents have already noticed a difference in the cornbread. It’s not looking good. But Lil Olive, a new resident, brings new life to the porch - and a revolutionary new idea to get the residents out of their rockers. The quirky, indomitable senior citizens find some surprising solutions to their problems in this unpredictable new show that one critic called “silly and soulful.” Lunch at the Piccadilly is a collaboration between Playworks and Aldersgate, a visionary senior living community in Charlotte.
