Synopsis

Gay marriage, with an Alzheimer's twist. Vincent's desperate to have at least one good year before he falls into what could be Alzheimer's. Should he tell Gerry before the wedding, and give him a chance to back out? One actor plays four parts in this tour de force drama with lighthearted comedy about a gay couple, the power of memory, and the need to tell the truth. Made For Each Other provides an intelligent way of looking at a complex issue, and gently questions why it is even an issue.

Editor’s Note: All of these characters can be played by a single actor. It is also possible to perform this with all four roles played by a different actor. A third production possibility is to have the actor who plays Vincent also play his Mother, and for the actor who plays Jerry to also play his Grandpa Damiano.
