Four Senior women amid intense economic struggles must find a more creative way to earn a decent income. For its sold-out run, Ward's production, placed in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, is unrelentingly humorous. 

"We all agreed early on that this was an opportunity to truly represent the performance range of older actors," Ward says. Watching these women jump around the stage, cracking whips and wearing sexy lingerie, you definitely forget the grandmothers you've seen them play in more traditional plays. 

"Darling. Funny. Truthful. Loved seeing seniors. I'm one."
