In this delightful new musical, Charissa, a quirky, twenty-something actress, meets Milton, a quick-witted, eighty-something millionaire who loves Schubert, Shakespeare, and Dallas BBQ. From a chance encounter to the unlikeliest of friendships, Charissa discovers there’s much she can learn from her surprising new companion. Based on the true story of performer Charissa Bertels, MY 80-YEAR-OLD BOYFRIEND reveals the thrill of chasing a dream, the power of living in the now, and all that can happen when we let ourselves say “yes.”
A Dayton premiere originally conceived and performed by Charissa Bertels, with book and lyrics by Christian Duhamel, and music and lyrics by Edward Bell.
This show is for ages 16 and up.
