SILVER FOXES is a contemporary comedy taking place in a time worn but iconic mid-century Palm Springs home. The plot revolves around Chuck and Benny, two 60ish gay men, now ex-lovers, still figuring out their post-relationship relationship. While their buddy Jerry’s much younger lover is in town, they discover their oldest and dearest friend, Cecil, has been forced back into the closet while living in a homophobic independent living facility. This “chosen family” is forced to take charge of Cecil’s future in order to help him live out his life with pride and dignity. Thematically the play explores gentrification, home and body maintenance, and the realities of growing older at all ages in the LGBTQ+ community.
Doors at 7pm. Show start at 7:30pm
“Silver Foxes has big laughs and big heart. Comical and moving.”
—Doug Sturdivant, DFW Center Stage
“A joke-packed dramedy. We mostly laugh, but Silver Foxes lands some hard punches.”
—Martha Heimberg, Onstage NTX
“Hilarious. Witty. This show is full of heart – it’s about love and friendship, aging and loss, and figuring out what your place is in this crazy world. The relationships are believable, raw, and honest. There are laughs galore, but you may find tears, too. And, occasionally, a little throwback to the Golden Girls.”
—Sarah Jones, Dallas Theatre Journal
“A hilarious and poignant romp. Funny and sassy. What was most evident was the love Zimmerman & Berg have for these characters.”
—Rich Lopez, Dallas Voice
