In this convulsively funny comedy directed by Annette Bowen and Leo Jensen, everything goes from bad to awful for John.  John is anxious about turning 50 and having done nothing with his life.
His loving wife, Marianne, decides to show him he is wrong by hosting a surprise funeral instead of a birthday party. 
Sounds strange, but her intentions are good — she wants him to know how much he is loved.  From there the confusion escalates into a big mess involving their daughter and the neighbors. This delightful mess is amazingly resolved in a hurricane of enjoyable hilarity.
Talent featured in the play includes; Jensen, Kristy Hubbard, Jim Thomas, Stephanie Sauder, Katrina Baltzer and Kurt Dean.
