Virginia Beach, VA — The Little Theatre of Virginia Beach is excited to announce its upcoming production of Ripcord, a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud comedy by David Lindsay-Abaire, running from May 23 through June 15, 2025.
In Ripcord, two unlikely roommates in a retirement community—spunky, spirited Abby and her cautious, wary new neighbor Marilyn—find themselves locked in a battle of wills. The stakes? A coveted spot by the window in their shared room. What begins as a simple rivalry escalates into a series of outrageous challenges, from skydiving to high-stakes pranks, with both women determined to win. A delightful blend of humor and heart, this show is a rollercoaster of absurdity, wit, and unexpected friendship.
Directed by Sherry Forbes, Ripcord is a quirky, touching exploration of aging, competition, and the relationships that develop under the most unlikely of circumstances. Whether it’s skydiving, scheming, or simply trying to outwit one another, Abby and Marilyn’s rivalry proves that sometimes the best way to find a friend is through a series of hilariously absurd challenges.
