The Plot:

Written by Jerry Mayer who also wrote and produced some great TV shows like M*A*S*H, The Bob Newhart Show, All in the Family, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

The play is described  by critics as "Hilarious," "Witty," "Romantic," "Poignant," "Wonderfully entertaining”, a “Battle of the sexes on an 80 minute train ride”!

It’s about two strangers, a man and a woman, that board a MARTA train at 4:30 a.m. They're alone in the car, each is married, both are doing the New York Times crossword. She's an organized, sensible psychologist. He's a free-spirited, unemployed ad exec. She is a crossword pro, he always quits. When he tosses his puzzle away, she snaps, "Crosswords are a metaphor for life, those who finish, succeed, those who don't, fail." Now he vows to finish. Why? He's a competitor and she happens to be lovely.  Two opposites in an enclosed space, attacking each other's values but also being swayed and intrigued by them. They each have serious life problems that the other helps solve. Their trip is filled with unpredictable but believable surprises. As the train ride ends, it's obvious each of them has been changed for the better.

Salad and Rolls

Oven Roasted Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast
