Father's Day

written by
Andrew Rothkin 

directed by
Isaac Scranton 

A COMEDY/DRAMA

Marriage and commitment mean different things to different people -- and sisters Ruth and Shelia could not be more different. Could a chance meeting at their father’s grave allow them to bridge the gap? Or will such a meeting merely solidify their resentment?
