Off Stage Productions logo 2-2012The storyline is as follows: Bridget and her grandmother are about to become roommates; however, what Bridget saw as a unique opportunity to stay with her favorite Nana in New York for the summer quickly turns into an experience she’ll never forget.

It seems her sweet grandma is running an illegal boutique from her apartment, selling hand-made naughty knickers to every senior citizen in the five-borough area! Will Bridget be able to handle all the excitement? Will Nana get arrested (or worse) evicted?

Nana’s Naughty Knickers is a slick comedy by a new playwright, Katy DiSavino … the dialog is crisp and funny, and the action fast-paced … [this] Senior Citizen’s sexy sideline will have you in stitches!” — Lancaster Journal
