NEW! High school seniors have voted to invite a senior citizen to be their graduation speaker, and Sarah Goldfarb is honored to be that citizen. She’s been asked to speak briefly. “Relax,” she says, “At my age you don’t write a lengthy speech.” But she has written a wise and witty one. In this monologue, she shares an aunt who lived so that when she died, she didn’t care and a neighbor who lived so that when she died, nobody else cared. “Learn from their mistakes,” she advises her audience. “Enjoy yourself a little bit more. Protect yourself a little bit less. Care.” Sandra Fenichel Asher’s award-winning plays have been produced across the U.S. and abroad. Royalty: $5.00
