PIGS DO FLY PRODUCTIONS
Presents BETTER LATE by Larry Gelbart
at Empire Stage
Reluctant roommates: Nora’s well-meaning plan to help her ailing ex-husband Julian takes an unexpected turn when she persuades her current husband, Lee, to let him move in under their roof. With each passing day, the awkward situation spirals further and further out of control. As the laughter builds, the question becomes: how long will Julian have to stay? This bitingly funny December-December-December romance is a breezy entertainment with serious themes as it “explores love, divorce, aging, and death with a mature sensibility and a decidedly comedic tone.” (Variety)
Starring 2025 Carbonell Award nominee Patti Gardner along with Peter W. Galman, Geoff Freitag, and Chad Raven.

What Our Audience Has To Say About Us!
This hidden gem is just the cutest little theater with some really great acting and fabulous performances.
Intimate space. Great sound…Staff pleasent. Great venue.
Satisfied every time!! Always enjoy the intimate space & relaxed atmosphere. Employs & hosts always friendly.
Cool place. I saw the absolutely hilarious “Thank You For Being a Friend”, the Golden Girls parody. Enjoyed every moment of it, and I’m so glad I made it a part of my vacation.
Absolutely delightful and intimate Blackbox theatre where you see and hear everything. Plenty of parking everywhere. The lobby boasts couches to sit on and wait, snacks to buy, and a certain feeling of being in a real hip theater.
This place was FABULOUS! We saw “The Golden Girls, thank u for being a friend” best and funniest show we ever saw. Owner could not have been nicer. We will definitely be back! Also location is terrific, so close to great restaurants, etc
Great time at the naked comedy show! Handsome, funny and talented young men!! Not bad on the eyes!! Too bbad my 83 year old Mother was laid up in the hospital! It was her idea to see the show!!!! Greeted warmly by the host with free wine and many laughs as he warmed up the audience dressed in drag and full of wise cracks! Check it out if you get the chance!!!
Went to see THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND with my husband and two friends and we all had a great time! Show was smart, funny, and very entertaining! A big THANK YOU to David at Empire Stage for being so accommodating with our last-minute tickets and for putting together shows we all want to see. Can’t wait for the next one!
