After stumbling upon a small outdoor production of a Shakespeare play in Manhattan, Long Island landscaper Bob Malone is inspired to write a play about his troubled marriage. He hires two reluctant New York theatre professionals to spend a week at his home and stage the play in his garage with a cast of colorful locals. THE GROUNDLING is a heartfelt comedy about the surprising effects a play can have on the most unsuspecting, and perhaps most deserving, people.
