About

A comedy writer (Dan Lauria) and a sophisticated poet (Patty McCormack) in their seventies meet daily on a park bench to exchange wits and barbs, and wax nostalgic about old movies, all the while trying to figure out how they know – and love – each other. At least for that day. 
 
A powerful play about memory, imagination, and the stories that refuse to disappear. Through moments of humor, heartbreak, and unexpected grace, Just Another Day explores what remains when memory fades and what it truly means to be seen, heard, and remembered.
 

“A fresh, gentle, lighthearted take” – Stage and Cinema

“Occasionally bittersweet, often quite funny, and at times quite poetic.” – Ticket Holders LA

 “Memory fades, love persists.” – The Hollywood Times

“Tender and Uplifting.” – The Boston Globe
