The Unexpected 3rd

A Radical, Rollicking Rumination on the Optimism of Staying Alive.

"A gift of laughter, renewed hope, and an appreciation for the art of aging well" - The Philadelphia Inquirer

Kathryn Grody has done it all: She’s an actress, a mom, a wife, and an accidental internet sensation at the age of 79. You’d think she would have this whole “life” thing figured out. But even as she enters her third act, she keeps getting surprised by what life has in store for her.

The Unexpected 3rd is a funny and uplifting play complete with real stories and revelations. Take a journey through Kathryn’s 79 astonishing years and leave the theater eager for all the years each of us has left to come.

Feel good about life again.

Written by and Starring Kathryn Grody Directed by Timothy Near
