Exhausted manager Allan Budde is doing everything in his power to keep struggling retirement community, Sunset City, afloat in his hometown of Bartonville, IN. When they are threatened with impending foreclosure and potential auction of the facility, Allan and a bunch of feisty seniors will have to band together to raise the money necessary to spare their home. Will some old-fashioned “song and dance” be enough save Sunset City from the clutches of Bartonville’s biggest diva, Bernadette Barton? Sunset City is a funny, touching, inspiring new musical that reminds you you're never too old to change direction, fall in love, or light up the marquee.
