In this garden of Eden the sun always shines, the lawns are manicured, and the weather holds steady at a perfect 75 degrees—just like Boca’s well-maintained seniors. Between rounds of golf, bridge, and the occasional Botox appointment, the residents discover that the real key to happiness may lie right within their own community. The play has been warmly received by audiences and critics alike
