Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Synopsis

Nestled in the heart of the 1960s, at a bustling Catskills resort, two friends, Marge and Lois, embark on what they expect to be a vacation of sun, fun, and romance. The reality, however, is humorously complicated. Marge, reeling from a broken engagement, finds unexpected solace and potential new love in the resort’s singer, Del. As friendships are tested and secrets revealed, the characters discover that finding love can be as unpredictable and joyous as the hit songs of Neil Sedaka.
