Keep the Change

“Keep The Change” tells the story of the landlady of Moonshadow Apartments and two of her favorite tenants—Henry and Shake. Investment manager Henry Cale prefers to manage his irrational fears and anxieties from the safety of his apartment. He is secretly in love with longtime friend, content creator and world traveler Emma. When Emma invites Henry to accompany her to a distant tropical paradise, he must choose between his comfortable, controlled existence or the intimidating terrors of the world outside his door. Advising Henry is his elderly, still-a-hippie landlady Irene. She’s at a crossroads in her life as her guardian niece Sloane and Sloane's lawyer Miss Penny are plotting to move Irene out to take control of the whole building. Irene is paid a surprise visit by Francis the Ordinary, a magician friend from their days living in a commune. Meanwhile, Shake, Irene’s maintenance man and Henry’s only friend, is concocting an elaborate lie in a pathetic attempt to win the heart of no-nonsense Ruby, his Fastdash delivery driver. When Francis the Ordinary hypnotizes Henry at a party, secrets are revealed that will affect his relationship with Emma. Shake is surprised to discover that the truth doesn’t always hurt, while Irene and Francis are delighted to discover that their options aren’t nearly as limited as they had feared. With fully realized characters, lots of physical humor, and sweet, tender moments, this play is sure to win over every audience.
