Managing Maxine

Judging from audience reactions on opening night, what it brought to people was an evening of hearty laughs and a rollercoaster ride of emotions. There were howls of laughter, not chuckles or giggles, but deep soul-satisfying laughter…”
– Suzi Brozman, AJT

Synopsis

Maxine Levine is bold, yet tender. She’s brash, but sincere. And at the age of 70, Maxine Levine may have just found real love for the first time in her life. When this lively widow finds a retired, reserved judge to her liking, they each discover that when it comes to romance (and sex), everything old is new again. But the memories of past loves and current heartbreaks of their children could derail any hope of happiness these late-in-life lovebirds may have.
