DEATH, WITH BENEFITS

A New Play by

John Strysik

Directed by Jeff G. Rack

Produced by David Hunt Stafford

Featuring: Cheryl David, Susan Damante, Kevin Dulude, Larry Eisenberg & Philip Sokoloff

A dark comedy "inspired" by the terribly true case of the Killer Grannies of Santa Monica.

Two grandmotherly women bond over the awful emotional and financial situations their deceased husbands have left them.

To fix their predicaments, they concoct a pernicious get rich plan:

Take in sickly men, get them to sign lavish life insurance policies with the ladies as beneficiaries, and care for them until they pass away.

The only problem is their guests are not passing away quickly enough, so the Grannies decide to speed up the process.

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, but in DEATH, WITH BENEFITS fiction is funnier.

FREE PARKING on the campus of the Beverly Hills High School

Opens January 27th and runs through February 20, 2022
