Learning To Breathe

(2 men, 3 women, unit set with pieces)
The Story
Ralph is an overworked CEO who needs a break…desperately. He’s forced, by his doctor and personal assistant, to take a ten-day retreat in the hills of Italy. There, he meets Anna, the Activities Director and falls deeply in love while his personal assistant decides this is the perfect time to tell him about her love for him. It’s a romance with a twisty ending and a bit of the Italian language to boot.
The Characters
RALPH SINGRONI (43) – An American man of Italian descent. Frustrated with his own success in that it puts more and more pressure on him to succeed more and more.
MARJORIE (40) – Ralph’s personal assistant. She does her best to look out for his interests and keep him in line at the same time.
ANNA – (40) An Italian native facilitating the retreat. She is an obvious lure for RALPH to abandon his old life.
MARTY HAGEDORN (58)– A veteran of the retreat program and owner of Hegedorn’s Markets.
JOYCE HAGEDORN (57) – Marty’s wife and Head of Human Resources at his company.
