Duchess Dale directs this uplifting tale about a grandfather (played by Don Converse) and his sassy, ten-year-old granddaughter, Jamie (Amelia Dolejsi). It's fall 2020, the pandemic rages, schools are remote-learning only. During a Zoom call, Grandpa strives to help Jamie with homework, which is about the role of grandparents in modern times. Rather than divulge the assignment directly, she teases him to gather information. They clash about wrinkles, the COVID shutdown, and vaccinations before she turns the tables on him. After he's been playfully duped, he wonders whether whimsy has successfully created his legacy gift for Jamie.

Teatro Paraguas has recently produced two other plays by Robert F. Benjamin live on Zoom to critical acclaim: Hunker Down and Almost Treason.

This production is made possible in part by New Mexico Arts, a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs, and the Santa Fe Community Foundation.
