Visiting Mr. Green

Mr. Green, an elderly, retired dry cleaner wanders into traffic on New York’s Upper West Side and is almost hit by a car driven by Ross Gardiner, a 29-year-old gay corporate executive. The young man is charged with reckless driving and is given a community service sentence of helping Mr. Green once a week for six months. What starts out as a comedy about two men who don’t want to be in the same room together turns into a gripping and moving drama as they get to know and care for each other and open old wounds they have been hiding for years. Visiting Mr. Green is part of New Conservatory’s Pride Season VI.
