Take a trip down Memory Lane, a new musical about Alzheimer's that takes a light-hearted, but poignant, look at this global epidemic.
Memory Lane, an Art Deco adult day care facility for Alzheimer's patients on South Beach, will soon be just a memory. Budget cuts have forced the county to sell the valuable property to a real estate developer who wants to turn it into upscale, high-rise condos and turn away the seniors who depend on their home away from home. Enter Sunny, a high school senior with an attitude, reluctantly working as a summer intern at Memory Lane; her feisty boss and mentor, Memory Lane director DaVonda Jones; a couple of caregivers who take a second chance on love; and a cast of lovable seniors who help us remember that some things, like love, are impossible to forget.
Genre: General Fiction
