The Marriage Counselor - Sunday Matinee Show
Mark your calendars for the Sunday Matinee showing of The Marriage Counselor written by Joey Ouellette!
A traveling vacuum salesman wanders into a marriage counselor's office. Susan and Tiger burst in, arguing so fiercely that the salesman can't get a word in edge wise. They mistake him for the counselor and he never gets a chance to enlighten them. Next to arrive are Susan's sister who is having an affair with Tiger and Rudolpho, a UPS man making a delivery who coincidently is Susan's lover. Things get even crazier when another UPS driver arrives; she happens to be Tiger's first wife who was presumed dead. Finally, a man with a gun and a grudge storms in, determined to kill the marriage counselor and everyone else if need be. Things get sorted out and three new couples happily exit. The salesman, never having said a word, abandons his wares with a shrug and exits as the lights fade.
Please note: This show contains mild adult themes.
