Jerry Sloan is a successful writer of advertising jingles married to an equally successful lawyer. Living with the happy couple is the not so happy Abe Dreyfus, Jerry's curmudgeon of a father-in-law. The situation is exacerbated when Jerry's mother (Mildred) loses her house in a fire and needs a place to stay. Since the wedding, Abe and Mildred can't stand each other. This play is one hilarious confrontation after another until the heart warming finale.

Helpful hints from the director when auditioning for roles in Squabbles: Male actors may want to audition with Jewish and/or Spanish dialects as characterizations in this play would be enhanced with these particular accents.
