Martin Benson directs the World Premiere of Julie Marie Myatt's The Happy Ones, which takes place in Orange County, California, 1975. For Walter Wells, it's the happiest place on earth. He is content with his beautiful wife, two great kids and a house with a pool until fate strikes a devastating blow, leaving Walter with no reason to put the pieces of his life back together. He resists attempts to help, especially the unexpected and unwanted offer from a Vietnamese refugee named Bao Ngo, who bears his own deep sadness. Then, across a cultural divide, Walter and Bao find a game to share, and a way back to the world of the living. SCR also presented the World Premiere of Myatt's My Wandering Boy. There will be free post-show discussions on October 6 and 7. An ASL Interpreted Performance for the deaf community will take place Saturday, October 17 at 2:00pm.

      If you like an emotional rollercoaster, a play that makes you cry while you are laughing, this is a great one. Enlightening, moving, funny - enjoy this play. It might be the best one this year.
