Author's Notes:
Having acted for many years, I have a strong sense for what the people in our audiences truly enjoy. The Pill - Ibuprofen is a play about everyday people with everyday problems, shrouded with comical resolutions.

Our main goal was to eliminate the fourth wall between the audience and performers, so the audience is cast as the new neighbor on the block, thus pulling them into the show. Within the first two minutes, the audience is solving a crossword puzzle and sharing a hardy laugh with the cast. Seconds later, they are relating to the character's problems and from that point on, they're hooked for the rest of the show. This is a feel-good show for the audience as well as the cast!

 
Synopsis
Now in his seventies, Freddy lives alone and does not want to meet another woman! Elizabeth, Freddy's fifty-year-old daughter, is at ease controlling the lives of her loved ones, especially her father. Dolly tells everyone about her career as an actress in the fifties soap "Another Day." Since then, her life has centered around her son, Stanley, who has never married because he's never found a woman good enough for his mother. He instantly falls for Elizabeth and instantly runs into problems when Elizabeth meets Mother Superior. When matchmakers Elizabeth and Stanley arrange a blind date for their parents, they all rediscover love from a slightly older, slightly more hilarious perspective! The audience is cast as the new neighbor and spontaneously interacts with the cast, if so inclined.
