Cherrie and Jerry
by Howard Meyer

In this broad comedy, six “friends” from the old neighborhood are brought together by their unrequited longings for each other. In these unlikely encounters, what develops is hilarious and unexpected. This comedic romp explores the search for connection and what develops when we pick the wrong partners.
