The 2010-2011 season will open with the James Sherman comedy, From Door to Door, a heartwarming, bittersweet tale about three generations of American women. From Door to Door tells the tale of Mary Goodman, a woman of the "greatest generation," who is mourning the loss of her husband. Her daughter, Deborah, is encouraging her to move on with a new independence. In a series of scenes between them and Mary's mother, Bessie, Mary reflects on her life as a daughter, wife and mother. As her life progresses from childhood to matrimony to motherhood, Mary realizes that each of the three women stand as links in a chain made of faith, love, and understanding.

Auditions for three women of separate generations will be held on Monday, Aug. 23 and Tuesday, Aug. 24, from 7 to 9 p.m., in the JCC's Roth-Resler Theater.
