Bea ends up only able to see Pippin, but introduces them to some of her senior friends, and all but one imaginary friend now have real friends once again. But dealing with older friends has its challenges. Bea’s daughter, Jenna, is overly concerned for her mother. Even more so after Bea breaks her hip while “playing” with her friends. As Bea’s health continues to decline, her friends must fight for their rights as older folks. Trinity Theatre Artistic Director, Sean Boyd shared “We are big fans of Thomas Miscuraca’s work at Trinity Theatre Company and have shared a number of his pieces over the years including 'The Stark Truth of Humanity' and 'A Good Game.' In April of this year - we presented a staged reading of 'IFs (Imaginary Friends)' in our third annual New Works Festival. This wonderfully heartfelt and moving piece was so strong and well received - that we wanted to see it really on its feet - and programmed it into our season. It is thrilling to be a part of the trajectory of the development of exciting new work. We look forward to sharing 'IFs (Imaginary Friends)' with our community.” Playwright Thomas J. Miscuraca added "'IFs (Imaginary Friends)' holds a special place in my heart because it's about the older generation using their imagination to tap into their youth. I hope it reminds everybody of the importance of play and make-believe no matter what the age on their driver's license says. You're never too mature to act immature."
