About the Project
Coming to the Stage: 79 and a Half
What happens when a relentless overachiever finally hangs up his briefcase? At 79½, Mitch thinks retirement will be simple—until a life-threatening diagnosis stops him cold. Over one unforgettable month, with wit, humor, and the unexpected help of a mischievous spirit, he stumbles through lessons of acceptance, gratitude, and legacy.
Equal parts poignant and hilarious, 79 and Half invites audiences on a moving journey of self-discovery, showing how the end of one chapter can open the door to becoming a sage for others.
