A delightful new musical, in which Charissa, a quirky, twenty-something actress, meets Milton, a quick-witted, eighty-something millionaire who loves Schubert, Shakespeare and Dallas BBQ. From a chance encounter to the unlikeliest of friendships, Charissa discovers there's much she can learn from her surprising new companion. Based on the true story of the performer Charissa Bertels, a U of I Master of Fine Arts candidate, "My 80-Year-Old Boyfriend" reveals the thrill of chasing a dream, the power of living in the present and all that can happen when we let ourselves say "yes."
