By the Sea Productions opens their 10th season with “The Last Romance” by Joe DiPietro. On his daily walk, Ralph meets the elegant Carol walking her dog. Ralph revives his youthful charm to woo Carol, despite his lonely sister’s jealous objections. With the background of a classic opera aria, this senior romance results in the trip of a lifetime and a happiness that was almost lost.

Rhonda Crowfoot directs this charming love story featuring Don Gaede and Kate Kravets as the couple, Rosemarie Lagunas as the sister, and David Trajan as the opera singer.  

“The Last Romance” plays Valentine’s Day weekend only, February 13-15, at 545 Shasta Ave. in Morro Bay.  Show times are 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 3 p.m. on Sunday. Reservations and tickets at bytheseaproductions.org or call 805-776-3287.
