Hickman Theater, 5501 27th Avenue South, Gulfport. Grandma Rocks is a heartwarming comedy that asks a timeless question: Is it ever too late for a second chance at love?

Filled with humor, warmth, and relatable family moments, the play explores themes of widowhood, Golden Age relationships, second chances, and the importance of planning the legacy we leave for those we love. Through its engaging story, Grandma Rocks reminds audiences that life's next chapter can still hold new beginnings and that it's never too late to embrace joy.
