Synopsis:
Set in the small fictional town of Lenoraville, Alabama, Maytag Virgin tells the story of recently widowed Elizabeth Nash and her new next door neighbor, Jack Key. Lizzy grieves outwardly over the recent death of her husband, but her inner world is filled with deep regret and secret longing. Maytag Virgin is the perfect feel-good romantic dramatic comedy with heart. You will laugh, cry and applaud!

Characters:
Jack Key (Male, 30’s-40’s) High school Physics teacher. Southern. Nearly unflappable. Even-keeled. A man of character.
Elizabeth “Lizzy” Nash (Female, 30’s-40’s) High school English teacher. Southern. Endearingly neurotic. Strong-willed. Quick-witted and bold.
For those who fear this is too heavy a play, be assured it contains plenty of laughs. For those who fear it’s a silly, romantic trifle, know that it plumbs the depths of human emotion.” ~ Florida Weekly
