A new work by acclaimed playwright, actor, and director Dorothy Lyman.

At a retirement community in sunny Cedar Key, Florida,  Margaret and Gil are forced to be apart in their adjacent condos due to a mandatory isolation order for all residents.  From their neighboring balconies, love struck Gil witnesses Margaret’s increasing frustrations at their circumstances and realizes he must use his humor and wit to turn her spirits around. Keenly aware that every moment is precious, Gil knows We Have to Hurry, but can he get Margaret to take a walk on the beach and the first step toward happily ever after?

We Have to Hurry streamed live to Broadway on Demand in May, June, and July 2021 featuring three outstanding casts. The heartwarming new play, about a pair of mature people reigniting their spark during lifes' third act, is written by playwright, director and actor Dorothy Lyman and was directed by Patricia Vanstone.
