Jerry and Chuck are 60 and still cling to their dreams of success as voice-over pitchmen... and the promise of hot young women.  This doesn’t sit so well with Chuck’s wife, Mary, who may or may not have a terminal illness.  A mean little romantic comedy about older folks with the hearts of teenagers, who can’t resist chasing… the glint.

2w, 2m

Features 3 actors in their early 60’s (2m, 1w) and a 20-something actress who plays a different role in every scene.

Production History:

On April 22nd, 2013, THE GLINT received a hit reading at Broadway’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre as a benefit for Opening Act, starring Beau Bridges, Michael McKean, Jean Smart and Cecily Strong - directed by Michael Mastro.

Previously, THE GLINT was given a successful backers audition by Nelle Nugent at The Broadway League, directed by Lonny Price and starring Beau Bridges, Judd Hirsch, J. Smith-Cameron and Jenn Colella.  

Lonny Price also directed a public reading of THE GLINT at Guild Hall in East Hampton in July, 2012 starring Richard Benjamin, Aya Cash, John Ratzenberger and Jean Smart.
