GRAND HORIZONS by Bess Wohl

Jennifer Decker
Feb 5-21, 2026
Synopsis: Bess Wohl’s Grand Horizons is a sharply funny and deeply moving comedy-drama about a couple who, after fifty years of marriage, calmly announce their decision to divorce—sending shockwaves through their family. As their adult children rush to make sense of the news, long-buried tensions and unspoken truths rise to the surface. With wit and warmth, Wohl explores love, commitment, and the chaos of family life in this modern look at what it really means to grow old—together or apart.
This play called ““…[a] clever truth bomb of a play…[a] terrific comedy..” by the New York Times, and “a sweet,sweet delight” by New York Magazine, centers around Bill and Nancy who, after 50 years of marriage, decide they want a divorce, forcing their grown kids to re-examine everything they thought they knew about their parents.
